Notes on checking:

Carry out check 1 if engine does not start;

otherwise proceed directly with check 2

(check of tank vent system).

 

Check 1 (check of tank vent valve):

 

Ignition ON

Engine OFF

 

Press key F5 in the system main menu, select the desired test using the arrow keys and confirm with YES.

Follow the instructions in the TECH 1 display.

 

Note:

The tank vent valve is actuated at a frequency of 0.5 Hz.

The check is completed after a maximum of 30 s.

 

Note:

Tank vent valve = controlled canister purge valve (TECH 1 display will be changed at a later date).

Check 2 (check of tank vent system):

 

Ignition OFF

 

Disconnect rear hose (to activated carbon canister) from tank vent valve (installed near direct ignition module).

The disconnected hose must be closed off to prevent fuel vapour from escaping from the activated carbon canister.

 

Engine running at idle speed, operating temperature

 

Throttle valve CLOSED (accelerator pedal in idle position)

 

Vehicle stationary

 

Press key F5 in the system main menu, select the desired test using the arrow keys and confirm with YES.

Follow the instructions in the TECH 1 display.

Cause of Fault:

 

 

As the hose at the tank vent valve is only accessible with some difficulty in the X 20 SE engine, the check can also be performed as follows:

 

Do not disconnect hose. Carry out check as described above.

 

When the tank vent valve is opened by TECH 1, the engine is supplied with additional fuel (precondition: enough fuel vapour in the activated carbon canister). This can lead to a brief drop in engine speed.

 

If the engine speed does not decrease during this actuator test, this may be because not enough fuel vapour has collected in the activated carbon canister. If, however, there is too much fuel in the activated carbon canister, the engine speed may sink so low that the engine stalls.

 

·   Ignition ON

·   Using multimeter, measure voltage at tank vent valve plug Y 34 / RTBL (red / blue) to ground

 

11.5 to 13.5 V

·   Lead interruptions from fuel pump relay K 43 / Ter. 8 to tank vent valve Y 34 / RTBL (red / blue)

 

·   Ignition OFF

·   Disconnect control unit K 61 from wiring harness

·   Using multimeter, check from tank vent valve plug Y 34 / BRRT (brownlred) to control unit K 61 / Ter. 5 for passage and short circuit to ground

 

W

·   Short circuit or lead interruption from tank vent valve Y 34 / BRRT (brown / red) to control unit K 61 / Ter. 5

 

·   Check vacuum hoses between tank vent valve Y 34 and

-    activated carbon canister

-    tank for leaks, kinks and passage

 

Nominal values are attained

No leaks

No kinks

Passage

·   Vacuum hoses blocked or defective

·   Activated carbon canister blocked or defective

·   Tank vent valve Y 34 defective

·   Control unit K 61 defective
