Signal Missing - Permanent Fault

2004 Volvo V70 L5-2.5L Turbo VIN 59 B5254T2SECTION Signal Missing - Permanent Fault





Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking the connector








- Ignition off
- Check the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Activate the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve.
A click should be heard when the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve is activated.
If the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve is now OK this indicates that the fault was caused by poor contact in the connector.

Is the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve working?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring
Check the resistance of the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A9 (#A9) and evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve terminal 2. Check the power supply between system relay terminal 3 and evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve terminal 1. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
