2001 c320 OBD2 doesn't see evap system

I tried to pass emissions today and have no engine codes but failed the test because the evap light at the top is not on. I was hoping someone can tell me all the components that are in that system and their location so I can check that all the connectors are plugged in and if someone can provide a wiring diagram from the obd port for that system that would be great. Thank you.

Where are you located, different jurisdictions have different emissions requirements. Did the emissions person tell you that your evap readiness monitor had not set?

Portland, OR. The tech said that it could be an unplugged connector. (It's not pending, I didn't reset codes for at least a few hundred miles) The Evap system is not sending a signal to the odb2 port.

That's really odd, i suspect it's a problem with the smog station. I would get a second opinion.
