Activated charcoal canister shut-off valve ME-SFI - fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-20L

USA ONLY

      Activated charcoal filter shutoff valve
1 Fault code P2025 Activated charcoal filter shutoff valve, voltage supply (P0446)
(USA ONLY Readout on generic scan tool) P2012 Activated charcoal filter shutoff valve, plausibility (P0446)
2 Fault storage after expiry of test duration and fault
Actuation following two successive driving cycles with faults
CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY  
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Voltage and current for activated charcoal canister shutoff valve
5 Fault setting conditions  Voltage lower than 4 volts
Limit values for voltage supply Current higher than 4.2 amps
  Short circuit to ground No voltage on activated charcoal filter shutoff valve
  Short circuit to +12 V Approx. 4 to 8 V on under no load output of the ME control unit
  Open circuit in wiring approx. 1 seconds
Checking duration If an excessively high vacuum is measured in the fuel tank by the fuel tank pressure sensor
Plausibility before beginning the leak test on the purge system then a blocked activated charcoal filter shutoff valve will be suspected and fault P2012 will be issued.
6 IMPORTANT Actuation of the activated charcoal canister shutoff valve is checked concerning a cable open-circuit and short-circuit (to ground or battery voltage). A short circuit to ground and a line discontinuity will be recognized when the output stages are locked, while a short circuit to the battery voltage is recognized when the output stages are conducting.
The output stage is immediately no longer activated when a fault arises.
