3 Series E46 320Cd (M47TU) COUPE
If the current for the reference leak measurement is outside a certain tolerance, the DMTL
will be detected as faulty and the fault memory entry shown in Table 3 will be stored in the
DME as an internal DMTL fault.

Table 3: Internal DMTL fault during reference leak measurement
2.1.2 Tank leak measurement
Fig. 1 shows the components of the fuel supply system, to which pressure is applied.
Pressure is applied to the components of the fuel supply system during the tank leak
measurement procedure.
•
The internal solenoid valve in the DMTL (14, Fig. 1) closes the line to the atmosphere
•
The DMTL pump is activated
As a result, the fuel supply system is now a closed system (from the DMTL valve up to the
fuel evaporation control valve) and the pressure is increased in the entire fuel system.
During the tank leak measurement,the pump's current draw is measured. An algorithm in
the DME control unit compares the power intake of the reference leak measurement and of
the tank leak measurement.
If the current draw during the tank leak measurement is lower that that recorded during the
reference leak measurement, the fuel supply system is detected as free of leaks. A leak of
> 0.5 mm must be present for the DME to store a fault.
