Leak Detection Pump, 8-Cylinder MPI, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Hand-held multimeter (V.A.G 1526C)

• Voltage tester (V.A.G 1527B)

• Connector test set (V.A.G 1594C)

• Adapter cable, 121-pin (V.A.G 1598/31)

• Vehicle diagnostic, testing, and information system (VAS 5051B) with Diagnostic Cable (VAS 5051/5A)

Procedure





• Ignition switched on.

• (VAS 5051B) connected with (VAS 5051/5A), Vehicle Self-Diagnosis selected.

Check Activation





Display on (VAS 5051B):

- Tap "On Board Diagnostic" in selection - 1 - and activate by tapping the -> button.

Display on (VAS 5051B):





- Tap "01 - Engine Electronics" vehicle system in selection - 1 - and activate by tapping the -> button.

Display on (VAS 5051B):





- Tap "005 - Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)" function in selection - 1 - and activate by pressing the -> button.

Display on (VAS 5051B):





A Output diagnostic test mode waiting, Advancing by switching required
1 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve 1 (N80)

- Press the -> button repeatedly, until Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144) is activated.

• The sound of the leak detection pump running can be heard at the left rear wheel housing.

- End function "005 - output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)" by pressing <- button.

- Select "022 - End output" function in selection.

- Switch off ignition.

If Leak Detection Pump (LDP) for fuel system is not activated (no operating noise audible):

- Remove leak detection pump (LDP) and disconnect the electrical connection. Refer to => [ Leak Detection Pump ] Service and Repair.

Checking internal resistance





- Connect (V.A.G 1526C) for resistance measurement as follows.





If the specifications are not obtained:

- Replace the leak detection pump (LDP). Refer to => [ Leak Detection Pump ] Service and Repair.

If the specified values are achieved:

- Check voltage supply of leak detection pump.

Checking voltage supply





• Voltage for leak detection pump is supplied via Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271).

• Fuse for leak detection pump OK

- Connect (V.A.G 1527B) as follows:





- Briefly operate starter.

• LED must light up.

If LED does not light up:





- Check electrical harness connection from terminal - 3 - via fuse to Motronic engine control module (ECM) power supply relay for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

- Repair open circuit in wiring according to wiring diagram.

Checking output wiring





- Connect (V.A.G 1527B) as follows:





- Initiate output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM).

Display on (VAS 5051B):





A Output diagnostic test mode waiting, Advancing by switching required.
1 Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve 1.

- Press the -> button repeatedly, until leak detection pump for fuel system is activated.

• LED must blink.

If LED does not blink:

- End function "005 - output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)" by pressing <- button.

- Select "022 - End output" function in selection.

- Switch off ignition.

- Connect (V.A.G 1598/31) to wiring harness connectors, do not connect engine control module. Connect ground (GND) clip at test box to Ground (GND) (not visible in illustration).





CAUTION!
Risk of destroying electrical components.

• Before connecting the test leads, switch on the respective measuring range and observe the test conditions.

- Check the following wire connection for open circuit and short circuit to Ground (GND) and B+:









- Repair wiring open circuit or short circuit according to wiring diagram.

If no malfunction is found, but leak diagnosis pump is not functional during output diagnostic test mode:

- Replace the leak detection pump (LDP). Refer to => [ Leak Detection Pump ] Service and Repair.

- Observe procedures for after re-connecting engine control module (ECM).

Checking input wiring





- Switch off ignition.

- Connect (V.A.G 1598/31) to wiring harness connectors, do not connect engine control module. Connect Ground (GND) clip at test box to Ground (GND) (not visible in illustration).

CAUTION!
Risk of destroying electrical components.

• Before connecting the test leads, switch on the respective measuring range and observe the test conditions.

- Check the following wire connection for open circuit and short circuit to ground (GND) and B+:









- Repair wiring open circuit or short circuit according to wiring diagram.

- Observe procedures for after re-connecting engine control module (ECM).
