Hi,I m new to the forum and I hope someone can help me.
I have a problem with my car c180 cgi 2010,engine light come up,so i checked the code with star computer and have P013800 oxygen sensor 2 bank 1 and P242200 shutoff valve of activated charcoal canister stick to closed position.
So I changed the oxygen sensor with new one from MB dealer but the code is coming again and again.

MJ50

did you change purge valve??

jpminou

No I didn't change anything other then the O2 sensor but seems it's not solving the problem.
Do u think the purge valve has anything to do with the O2 error code?

MJ50

you have 2 CELs...
do u still have 2 CELs or 1?

jpminou

Cel check engine light?
I only have 1

dudeitsmattx

I think he meant are you still throwing 2 codes or just 1 now...

MJ50

so u need to fix for shutoff valve CEL...

jpminou

Today i did ecu reset with star and remove the battery for 1 hour but this doesn't help too.

jpminou

Yes 2 codes still there.

jpminou

So do you think the valve is causing the o2 code?

MJ50

most likely...

jpminou

Ok thanks will try to find new valve and replace it tomorrow and will let you know.

Update...
Yesterday was reading about the purge valve and found that i can clean it with CRC maf cleaner so I did it but nothing changed.
Today i went to gas station and filled some fuel in my car and after that turned up my engine and ohhhh the check engine light is not there anymore.
So i went again the check for trouble code with star diagnostic tool and found the o2 code still there.
The guy reset the ecu again and the engine light came on
Now only the o2 code not the charcoal canister.
The guy checked the o2 reading and in some place there is high voltage with red sign im not an expert to know what that means.
Any input would be great thanks in advanced.

I need some clarification if someone can help me,the purge valve is the one in the engine compartment or the one in the back of the car next to the canister?
Cause I cleaned the one in the engine compartment.
