Engine light on my Jetta 2006 came on due to code P0456. Is there any specific place besides the gas cap that I could look at? Is there any diagram of the evap system available for this vehicle?
P0456: Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (small leak)
Using a Multimeter, check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 terminals 1 and 2 for resistance. You should get 22.0 to 30.0 Ohms. If not, replace the canister. If you do, you have other problems.
Possible options:
- A small leak in the EVAP or fuel hoses
- A small leak in the purge/vent valve
- The EVAP Canister may be leaking
Evap Components are usually located under the rear of the vehicle. Check for any loose hoses at the Canister or along the underside of the body. Also, this vehicle uses VAG-COM, quite different from OBD II for vehicle diagnostics. A dealer could tell you more information, or you could look at http://www.vagtoolfinder.com/ to find someone near you with a VAG-COM scan tool.
