On-board diagnosis
Type of diagnosis:
| Once per driving cycle. Stopped when fault criteria are fulfilled or OK reported. |
Enable criteria:
| • | 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. |
| • | 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: |
| Diagnostics uses different calibration data for various operating conditions. 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 restart. |
| DTC is set if the pressure does not drop sufficiently. |
Fault criteria:
| Pressure reduction of sufficient size could not be registered during phase 1. This indicates a large leak; a hole with a diameter larger than 2.5 mm. |
| A fuel level sensor fault has been detected at the same time, which makes the EVAP diagnosis unreliable. |
Dependent:
System reaction to a fault:
OK report:
| Diagnostics carried out without fault reported. |
Fault handling:
| (See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.) |
Checking the wiring harness
Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
Diagnostic help
Diagnosis regards:
| Faulty fuel level sensor. |
| Checking EVAP system integrity. |
| In case of a fault in the sensor, the diagnosis will take 40 litres as a substitute value. When the EVAP diagnosis result has normalised above the fuel level, a fault may result even though there is no leak. Diagnose the fuel level sensor first and then check the EVAP system. |
