On-board diagnosis

Type of diagnosis:

Once per driving cycle.

Enable criteria:

The battery voltage must be over 11 V.
Engine running more than 17 minutes.
Coolant temperature upon start between 3.8 °C and 35.3 °C.
Ambient temperature between 4-30°C.
Fuel level between 10% and 90%.
Atmospheric pressure more than 70 kPa.
NONE of the following DTCs must be detected:

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.

Fault criteria:


The pressure does not fall by 2740 Pa or the time required to reach the required pressure change is too long.
