EVAP. Small Leakage in System.

Fault symptom

Fault indicator lamp (for further information see WIS Fault diagnosis, general)

Possible smell of petrol.

On-board diagnosis

Type of diagnosis:

Once per driving cycle. Stopped when fault criteria are fulfilled or OK reported.

Enable criteria:

Phase 1:
The diagnosis is performed by closing the shut-off valve and opening the evap canister purge valve while the tank pressure is being registered. The pressure should then drop.

Phase 2:
Bleeder valve closed; pressure increase in Pa/s calculated. Pressure must not rise too much.

Diagnostics can be carried out under 4 different operating conditions:
After cold start while stationary.
After cold start while driving.
After warm start while stationary.
After warm start while driving.

NONE of the following DTCs must be detected:
P0117, P0118
P0444, P0445
P0451, P0452, P0453
P0498, P0499
P0501
P0685, P0686, P0687

Diagnostics uses different calibration data for various operating conditions. Starting from cold implies an intake and radiator temperature below 40°C during start. Criteria for starting from cold are valid during 15 minutes after start. Several conditions can interrupt diagnostics. After starting from cold, diagnostics restarts immediately if the vehicle speed exceeds 0 km/h. After warm start, a speed of over 44 km/h is required for a specific period of time before diagnostics restarts.
Normally, the diagnosis takes 5 minutes with the engine idling if the intake temperature is above +15°C.

Fault criteria:

Pressure increase during phase 2 has been calculated and compared with the fuel level in the tank. The pressure increase indicates a small leak; a hole with a diameter of 1.0 - 2.5 mm.

Dependent:

None

System reaction to a fault:

None

OK report:

Diagnostics carried out without fault reported.

Fault handling:

Type III
(See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.)

Diagnostic help

Diagnosis regards:

Small leak, 1.0 - 2.5 mm.
IMPORTANT
An improperly screwed fuel cap is often the reason this diagnostic trouble code is generated. Before beginning fault diagnosis, check that the tank cap is properly fitted.
