Function Description Of Leak Diagnosis

The EVAP system (including fuel tank) is equipped with leak diagnosis. The leak diagnosis will detect whether the system is leaking.

The diagnosis operates by pressurizing the system and should detect leaks where the damage exceeds 1mm in diameter.

During the diagnostic, the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 generates a positive pressure of approx. 30 mbar in the EVAP canister system. The pump will switch off when the pressure is attained. When the pressure falls to below a certain figure, the pump will switch on again. On Board Diagnostic monitors the switch intervals and stores a DTC in DTC memory if the intervals are too short.
