Location of vapor recovery? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I tried my new scanner out today. I came up with a code on my 1998 ML320 that the vapor canister solenoid is bad.

I cleared the code and it came back.

Where is this device and how do I test it?

Photo of system but I don't see a solenoid.

That looks like this is at the back of the car, on the driver's side, behind the interior trim, correct? How does that trim come off - just pull?

WHAT code???

P0 441?? P0 450? P0 440? P0 442? P0 455? P0 460??

They all are different..

You are picturing the map sensor that would come up for P0 450..

OK. I'll get more info - I am new to this code and scanner stuff.

Well, Doc, you can't help me on this one - I totalled it last night.
Here's what I posted on the "mileage" thread for MLs--------

Well, I made it to 152,000 miles. I totaled it last night on hwy 43. I walked away unscathed. All four doors and the tailgate are creamed. I had to climb out the window.

I know if I was in almost anything else, I might not be typing right now. Hit the end of one guard rail on the driver's side, and hit the side of another guard rail with the passneger side. I don't know how the tailgate got creamed.

The restraint system worked flawlessly, I have no bruises, and I don't even have any body pains. I didn't sleep well last night, but that's about it. I'll sleep well tonight.

I am looking for another, black, black, as many options as possible. I think I found a nice 2000 all black w/67,000 on the clock and a very detailed and clean carfax. All service is documented. Hopefully insurance settles quick so I can grab it this week.
