Checking fuel tank and tank venting system
for leaks with tank leakage diagnosis module
(DM-TL)
Note:
An OBD fault is indicated by the "Check Engine" indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster lighting up. This may indicate a
leak in the tank venting system. Information on this is provided
by the fault memory of the DME control unit.
-
Read out fault memory of DME control unit and carry out
a diagnosis in accordance with faults stored.
-
A leak test of the DM-TL module is performed when:
•
The components of the DM-TL module are O.K.
•
A fault is stored in the DME fault memory (tank leak
detected).
Adhere to following conditions in order to carry out a correct
leak test:
-
Content of fuel tank < 90 %
-
Reserve indicator lamp "off"
-
Leave car in workshop for at least 2 hours so that fuel
temperature comes into line with workshop temperature
(ideal fuel temperature approx. 10...20
°
C).
-
Do not under any circumstances fill up car with fresh fuel
(strong exhalation of fresh fuel).
-
Check that tank cap is correctly seated.
Warning!
During the leak test, under no circumstance apply external
pressurization through the tank filler neck as this may cause
incorrect readings.
