Tried this today, with the intention of also taking care of the error code.
With just the removal of the left side fairing, I ended up leaving the purge line connected to the three-way joiner but removed and plugged it at the cannister end. This was because it looks like you can't access the joiner unless you have the tank and airbox off..

To prevent the error code, take a 680 ohm half watt resistor, and cut the legs so they're about 20 mm long. The legs can then be bent around and pushed into the purge valve socket. The resistor legs are a nice fit into the socket pins and should go in about a centimeter or so.

Job done, no purge valve error code :devil:

Y'all think the tst emission block off plate kit would prevent the code it done in conjunction with the evap can removal?

Not likely, as there is a plug in valve for the evap AND air induction system. I think you would need a resistor for each one. I used a 680 ohm 1/2 watt resistor for the evap. I think the ais kit from TST comes with 1 resistor only.

I haven't done anything as yet to bypass the abs system sorry. That price eek, ridiculous!! But the evap resistor trick works well.

Did you remove your PAIR (air injection) valve too? I think yourself or someone posted what size resistor it requires. I know it's not 22ohm as that didnt work for me, just made my battery go flat!

Yes I did that at a later stage, and yes I used the same value (680 ohms) resistor. I commented when you were having flat battery issues that 22 ohms would be too low a resistance and was probably giving the ECU I/O (input/output) logic a hard time -causing a 'lock' or 'race state' condition :sad:

Yes, worked fine for me.

Hey Kwik, what year is your N4? I removed the evap canister on my 2021 and have tried your resistor solution for the error code with no luck. Wondering if it may not work on the newer model?

Hi, it's a 2018. Maybe they have changed it? That would be a pita.

Just some thoughts.. Was there already an error code/ or did you turn the keyswitch on before fitting the resistor? As if there was an existing error for the purge valve, or the resistor wasn't in place then that would trigger the error and it would need to be cleared by the usual methods (riding a special sequence, or plugging in a code scanner thingy). The resistor prevents any new instance of a purge valve error. Just to double check, the colours for a 680 ohm resistor are blue, grey, brown. then a gold band is a tolerance of 5%.

Would be a bummer if there is a change in the way the ecu checks for the valve!
