Description and Operation

System Operation DIAGNOSTIC MODULE - TANK LEAKAGE PUMP (NAS ONLY)
To check the fuel tank and the EVAP (evaporative emission) system for leaks, the ECM (engine control module) operates the
DMTL pump and monitors the current draw. Initially, the ECM establishes a reference current by pumping air through the reference orifice and back to atmosphere. Once the reference current is determined, the ECM closes the change-over valve, which seals the EVAP system. The EVAP canister purge valve remains de-energized and is therefore closed. The output from the air pump is diverted from the reference orifice and into the EVAP system.
When the change-over valve is closed, the load on the air pump falls to zero. Providing there are no leaks, the air pump will
begin to pressurize the EVAP system and the load and current draw in the pump increases. By monitoring the rate and level of the current increase, the ECM can determine if there is a leak in the EVAP system.
During normal vehicle operation, 15 seconds after the engine has started, the ECM energizes the heating element in the pump to prevent condensation formation and possible incorrect readings. The heater remains energized until either the engine and
ignition are off (if no DMTL test is running) or until after the DMTL test is completed.
Leaks are classified as:

Minor - equivalent to a hole diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 mm (0.02 to 0.04 in.).
Major - equivalent to a hole diameter of 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or greater.
The ECM performs a check for major leaks each time the ignition is switched off, providing the following conditions are met: The vehicle speed is zero.
The engine speed is zero.
The atmospheric pressure is above 70 kPa (10.15 lbf/in2
), i.e. the altitude is less than approximately 3047 m (10000
feet).
The ambient temperature is between 0 and 40 °C (32 and 104 °F).
The EVAP canister vapor concentration factor is 5 or less (where 0 is no fuel vapor, 1 is stoichiometric fuel vapor and greater than 1 is rich fuel vapor).
The fuel tank level is valid and between 15 and 85% of nominal capacity.
The engine running time during the previous cycle was more than 10 minutes.
The battery voltage is between 10 and 15 volts.
The last engine off time was more than 180 minutes.
No errors are detected with the EVAP components, the ambient air temperature and the fuel level.

NOTE: A leak test can be performed using a Jaguar recognized diagnostic tool. This overrides the above conditions and is
useful for checking correct system and component operation.
The ECM performs a check for minor leaks after every 2nd major leak check.
When the leak check is complete, the ECM stops the DMTL pump and opens (de-energizes) the change-over valve.
If the fuel filler cap is opened or refueling is detected during the leak check, by a sudden drop in the current draw or a rise in
the fuel level, the ECM aborts the leak check.
If a leak is detected during the check, the ECM stores an appropriate fault code in its memory. If a leak is detected on two consecutive checks, the ECM illuminates the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) in the instrument cluster on the next drive cycle. The duration of a leak check can be between 60 and 900 seconds depending on the results and fuel tank level.

EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE

The ECM waits until the engine is running above 55 °C (131 °F) coolant temperature with closed loop fuel operational before the purging process is activated. Under these conditions the engine should be running smoothly with no warm up enrichment.
The EVAP canister purge valve duty (and flow) is initially ramped slowly because the vapor concentration is unknown (a sudden increase in purge could cause unstable engine running or cause it to stall due to an extremely "rich" air/fuel mixture). The
concentration is then determined from the amount of adjustment that the closed loop fueling is required to make to achieve
the target AFR (air fuel ratio). Once the concentration has been determined, the purge flow can be increased rapidly and the
injected fuel can be pro-actively adjusted to compensate for the known purge vapor and the target AIR control is maintained.

When the purging process is active, fresh air is drawn into the EVAP canister via the DMTL filter and pump on NAS vehicles, or via the vent port on the EVAP canister of non NAS vehicles.

Two nuts attach the EVAP canister to the underside of the center floor pan.

The EVAP canister contains a bed of activated charcoal or carbon. The charcoal is produced using special manufacturing techniques to treat the charcoal with oxygen. The oxygen treatment opens up millions of pores between the carbon atoms
resulting in a highly porous charcoal with a very large effective surface area which is capable of absorbing large quantities of
fuel vapor. Once treated the charcoal is known as 'activated' carbon or charcoal. The EVAP canister on NAS vehicles uses a higher grade of charcoal to meet the stricter emissions' regulations.

A mounting bracket on the RH (right-hand) end of the EVAP canister contains the FPDM (fuel pump driver module). For additional information, refer to 310-01D Fuel Tank and Lines.

On all except NAS vehicles, the EVAP canister has a capacity of 1400 cc (85.4 in.3
). Two connectors on the EVAP canister allow for the attachment of the vapor pipe from the fuel tank and the vapor pipe to the EVAP canister purge valve. An atmospheric vent is located on the underside of the EVAP canister.
On NAS vehicles, the EVAP canister has a capacity of 3000 cc (183 in.3
). Three connectors on the EVAP canister allow for the attachment of the vapor pipe from the fuel tank, the vapor pipe to the EVAP canister purge valve and the DMTL pump. EVAP Canister (NAS)

1 Magnetic foil 2 Spacer 3 Ceramic surface 4 Magnet 5 Resistance film The film resistors are arranged in a linear arc with resistance ranging from 51.2 to 992.11 Ohms. The electrical output signal is
proportional to the amount of fuel in the tank and the position of the float arm. The measured resistance is processed by the
instrument cluster to implement an anti-slosh function. This monitors the signal and updates the fuel gauge pointer position
at regular intervals, preventing constant pointer movement caused by fuel movement in the tank due to cornering or braking.
A warning lamp is incorporated in the instrument cluster and illuminates when the fuel level is low.

The fuel level sender signal is converted into a CAN message by the instrument cluster as a direct interpretation of the fuel tank contents in liters. The ECM uses the CAN message to store additional OBD (on-board diagnostic) 'P' Codes for misfire detection when the fuel level is below a predetermined capacity.

JET PUMP

The fuel system incorporates two jet pumps. One jet pump is integrated into the fuel pump and draws fuel from the RH side of the fuel tank. The other jet pump is located on the fuel delivery module on the RH side of the tank. There is a pipe that is located in the LH side of the tank that allows fuel to be drawn over from the LH side of the tank, delivering fuel into the swirl pot. The jet pumps operate on a venturi effect created by the fuel at pump output pressure passing through the jet pump. This
draws additional fuel from the LH side of the tank through ports in the jet pump body, delivering additional fuel to the swirl pot.

FUEL VENT VALVE

The fuel level vent valve is located in the upper half of the tank and is connected into a separator which is connected to the
Roll Over Valve (ROV) tank breather. The main purpose of the fuel level vent valve is to control the fill volume of the tank.
During filling, air trapped inside the tank and a small amount of vapor is passed via the fuel level vent valve to the tank
breather. The air and vapor mix then vents to atmosphere through the breather. During filling, when the tank reaches its full
level, the fuel level vent valve closes and prevents air/vapor passing through to the tank breather. The resulting back pressure
causes refueling to stop automatically.

The fuel level vent valve is always open when the fuel tank is below full, providing an unrestricted air/vapor outlet to the tank
breather.
