EVAP system leak detection
Function of leak detection system
The leak detection system can recognize leaks in
the entire fuel system, including the main fuel
tank, the EVAP canister and EVAP canister
purge regulator valve -N80.
On the mechanical side, the leak detection
system consists of a vacuum-operated
diaphragm pump (LDP) with a reed contact on
the pump diaphragm rod. The pump receives
vacuum from the intake manifold.
If the leak detection system is triggered; the
diaphragm pump pressurizes the fuel system
between 20 and 30 mbar.
If specified pressure is reached, the pump
diaphragm remains extended and the reed
contact remains in the "open" position.
If the pressure drops (i.e. there is a leak), the
diaphragm moves back and the reed contact
closes.
During diagnosis, first there is a measurement
of whether the reed contact has closed within
10 seconds. If this does NOT occur, the tank
system is then sealed.

Note:
Fuel system pressurization depends on volume of fuel system and
amount of fuel in tank.
If fuel system pressurization does not stabilize:
CAUTION!
Clamp only soft rubber lines when isolating a leak. To avoid risk of
damage, never clamp hard plastic lines!
Note:
Any flow shown on flow meter indicates a leak. Flow before flow meter
flag set at vehicle leak standard may indicate a sporadic DTC.
If flow meter on tester registers flow near or above preset pressure: - Attach fuel cap adapter to filler neck (arrow) and test hose to adapter.
- Turn control valve from "Hold" to "Test".
- Allow fuel system to pressurize.
- Verify all fuel system outlets have been sealed before continuing.
- Clamp off hose (arrow) leading from EVAP purge regulator valve -N80-
to intake manifold (pictured: AHA engine in A6).
