Leak Detection Pump V144, Checking






Leak Detection Pump V144, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter.

Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

Fuse (SB32) OK.

The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay 2 (J670) OK.

The ignition switched off.

Voltage for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144) is supplied by the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay 2 (J670).

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

- Remove the right rear wheel housing liner.

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





Checking internal resistance

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









If any of the specifications are not obtained:

- Replace the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-).

If the specified values are obtained:

Checking voltage supply

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









- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical harness connector terminal 3 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay 2 (J670) socket 2/87 for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).





- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

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). Refer to => [ Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing ] Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical connector to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical connector T94 for an open circuit.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If any of the specifications were not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in wiring:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing ] Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final Procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

End of diagnosis.
