Fault symptoms


• CHECK ENGINE.

• Possible smell of petrol.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Once per driving cycle. Interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled or OK reported. Restarts next driving cycle.


Enable criteria:


- Test 1: Coolant temperature at start between 5°C - 40°C. Purging is active. Idling speed. Max. one change in status of brake light switch. Purging adaptation higher than -6%. Intake air pressure at least 25 kPa lower than the atmospheric pressure. The vehicle stationary for 5 sec. The diagnosis will start once the above conditions have been fulfilled. If the diagnosis is interrupted then the speed must exceed 0 on one occasion before it is allowed to restart. The diagnosis continues then as described in phases A-C: A) The shut-off valve is activated at the same time as the purging is stopped for 4.5 sec. In the meantime the tank pressure is observed. B) The purging valve's pulse ratio is set at 18% until the tank pressure drops by 0.6 kPa whereupon the purging is interrupted. The pressure drop must not take longer than 15 s. If the pressure drop occurs too quickly during this phase the diagnosis will be interrupted because there is too much fuel in the tank (more than 85%). C) The tank pressure is observed for max. 6 s.

Test 2: Enable conditions; purge adaptation between -10% and -20%. Intake pressure 25 kPa lower than surrounding air. Speed more than 40 km/h. Intake air flow more than 10 g/s. Purge valve between 50 - 65%. Tank pressure between 0.1 - 0.2 kPa.


Fault criteria test 1:

If the pressure drops by more than -27.5 Pa/s in phase A, then an internal leak in the purging valve has been detected. If the pressure cannot be reduced to 0.6 kPa within 15 seconds in phase B then a major leak has been detected. If the pressure rises too quickly within 6 s in phase C then a small leak has been detected. Diagnostic trouble codes are generated when the fault criteria are fulfilled during the test and the dependants are OK. P0441 for faults during phase A. P0455 for faults during phase B. P0442 for faults during phase C.

Fault criteria test 2:

If the enable criteria are fulfilled the shut-off valve is closed and the purging valve is locked in its current position (50-65% opening). If the tank pressure does not drop to -0.5 kPa within 6 seconds then there is a fault. After three failed attempts diagnostic trouble codes are generated. Cold start (5°C-40°C) and three faults generate DTC P0455 and the message “TIGHTEN FUEL FILLER CAP” on SID. Only a SID message is sent for warm starts.

Dependents:

P0444, P0445, P0452, P0453, P0501, P0502, P0506, P0507, P1444, P1445, P01451, P01452, P1453, P1576, P1577 and tank pressure sensor.

OK report:

Test 1 performed once and fault criteria not fulfilled.

Fault handling: (See “Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.)


- Type III.


Diagnostic help

Fault diagnosis concerns a leak.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:


• Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

• Activate EVAP diagnosis.


See also the description of readings in ”Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.

Note

If the engine is started warm, diagnostic trouble codes cannot be generated. When carrying out the final check on the rectified fault the diagnostic tool activation command must be used so that Test 1 is initiated irrespective of starting temperature.
