Diagnostic Procedures
Leak Detection Pump, Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144) fuse is OK.
• The engine must be completely cooled down. IAT must match ECT within 5 Degrees C in order for the LDP to operate. Let sit overnight if possible when testing for voltage to the pump motor.
• The ignition switched OFF.
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. Refer to the Repair Information.
- Disconnect the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144 ) electrical harness connector - 2 -.
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- ). Refer to the Repair Information.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking voltage supply
- Check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) for voltage.
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-)electrical harness connector terminal 3 for voltage. Connect the negative multimeter lead to engine ground.
- Start the engine.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
- Switch the ignition OFF.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Remove fuse S-243. Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-)wiring from terminal 3 to fuse S-243.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Check the wiring for high resistance 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 detected in the wiring or if the voltage supply was OK:
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) ( J220). Refer to the Repair Information.
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical connector terminal 1 to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220) electrical connector T121 terminal 80 for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical connector terminal 2 to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220) electrical connector T121 terminal 25 for an open circuit or high resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Check the wiring for high resistance, 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:
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220). Refer to the Repair Information.
Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:
- Install the right rear wheel housing liner. Refer to the Repair Information.
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 Modes 01 - 09.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
