Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition




Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-431D (signal too high or too low) is stored if the power consumption of the pump in the leak diagnostic unit is higher or lower than a particular value during the reference phase.
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-431D (faulty signal) is stored if the power consumption for the pump in the leak diagnostic unit fluctuates too much during the reference phase.
The power consumption of the pump must drop when the leak diagnostic pump valve moves from the reference check to pressurizing the fuel tank system. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-431D (signal missing) is stored if the value for the power consumption of the pump drops too quickly, slowly or not at all.
The diagnosis is carried out when the ignition is switched off.
