Leak Detection Pump, Checking



Leak Detection Pump, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.

Test requirements
- The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 Engine Electronics Fuse S282 OK.
- The ignition switched off.

NOTE: The voltage for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- is supplied via the Fuel Pump (FP) Relay J17.

Procedure
- Remove the left rear wheel housing liner.







- Disconnect the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 electrical harness connector.

Checking internal resistance







- Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 for resistance as follows:

Leak Detection Pump (LDP) Specified value
V144 electrical harness
connector terminals

1 + 3 640 to 720 Ohms
2 + 3 15 to 17 Ohms

If any of the specifications were not obtained:
- Replace the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144-.

If the specified values were obtained:

Checking voltage supply







- Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector terminal 3 to Ground (GND) for voltage.

Leak Detection Pump (LDP) Measure to
-V144- electrical harness
connector terminal

3 Engine Ground (GND)

- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Ground (GND) or an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

It the specification was obtained.

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.







- Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T121 terminals for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms

If the specification is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in wiring:
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:
- Install the right rear wheel housing liner.

Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
