Leak Detection Pump (NAS vehicles with positive pressure EVAP system leakage test only)
1Harness connector
2Leak detection pump motor
3Atmosphere connection to/from EVAP canister
4Atmosphere connection to/from air filter
5Leak detection pump solenoid valve
The fuel evaporation leak detection pump is mounted forward of the EVAP canister on a bracket fitted beneath the
vehicle on the RH side of the vehicle chassis. The leak detection pump is fixed to the bracket by three screws through
the bottom of the bracket.
A short hose connects between the atmosphere vent port of the EVAP canister and a port at the rear of the fuel
evaporation leak detection pump. The hose is secured to the ports at each end by crimped metal band clips.
An elbowed quick fit connector on the top of the fuel evaporation leak detection pump connects to atmosphere via a
large bore pipe. The pipe is routed along the underside of the vehicle chassis and up into the RH side of the engine
compartment where it connects to an air filter canister.
The leak detection pump incorporates a 3–pin electrical connector. Pin-1 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for
control of the pump solenoid valve. Pin-2 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for the operation of the pump motor.
Pin-3 is the power supply to the pump motor and solenoid valve and is switched on at system start up via the main
relay and fuse 2 in the engine compartment fusebox.
Under normal circumstances (i.e. when the leak detection pump is not operating and the solenoid is not energised),
the EVAP canister vent port is connected to atmosphere via the open solenoid valve.
The pump is operated at the end of a drive cycle when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-25
The leak detection pump module contains an integral air by-pass circuit with restrictor (reference-leak orifice) which
is used for providing a reference value for the leak detection test. The restrictor corresponds to an air leak equivalent
to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) diameter. With the solenoid valve open and the purge valve closed, the pump forces pressurised
air through the orifice while the current drawn by the leak detection pump motor is monitored to obtain the reference
value. The orifice must be kept free from contamination, otherwise the reference restriction may appear less than for
a 0.5 mm leak and consequently adversely affect the diagnostic results.
During the leakage test, the solenoid valve is energised, closing the atmosphere vent line between the EVAP canister
and atmosphere and opening a path to the pressurised air supplied from the leak detection pump motor. Air is pumped
into the EVAP system, while the current drawn by the pump motor is monitored. The current drawn during the leakage
test is compared against the value obtained during the reference check, to determine if an EVAP system leak is
present.
The fuel leak detection pump is powered from a 12V supply and operates at a working pressure of 3 kPa.
Air filter – (NAS vehicles with positive pressure leak detection system only)
1Air vents through canister lid
2Air filter canister
3To fuel leak detection pump (EVAP canister
atmosphere vent)
A paper element air filter (40
µm) is located in a plastic canister at the RH side of the engine compartment. The air
filter canister is fixed to the cruise control mounting bracket by a single nut and bolt. A large bore plastic pipe is
connected to a port at the base of the air filter canister and is secured to the port by a short nylon hose and two crimped
metal band clips.
The air filter is used to prevent particulate contaminants down to 40
µm from entering the fuel leak detection pump.
A press-fit lid on top of the canister contains slots to allow the passage of air into and out of the EVAP system.
The bottom end of the paper element is sealed to the canister and is non-serviceable (i.e fit for life). If necessary, the
canister and paper filter must be replaced as a single, complete assembly.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-37
In the case of a catalytic converter failure the following failure symptoms may be apparent:
lMIL light on after 2 driving cycles (NAS market only).
lHigh exhaust back pressure if catalyst partly melted.
lExcessive emissions
lStrong smell of H
2S (rotten eggs).
Oxygen sensor voltages can be monitored using 'Testbook', the approximate output voltage from the heated oxygen
sensors with a warm engine at idle and with closed loop fuelling active are shown in the table below:
Mass air flow sensor and air temperature sensor
The engine management ECM uses the mass air flow sensor to measure the mass of air entering the intake and
interprets the data to determine the precise fuel quantity which needs to be injected to maintain the stoichiometric
air:fuel ratio for the exhaust catalysts. If the mass air flow sensor fails, lambda control and idle speed control will be
affected and the emission levels will not be maintained at the optimum level. If the device should fail and the ECM
detects a fault, it invokes a software backup strategy.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine

The air temperature sensor is used by the engine management ECM to monitor the temperature of the inlet air. If the
device fails, catalyst monitoring will be affected. The air temperature sensor in integral to the mass air flow sensor.

Throttle position sensor
If the engine management ECM detects a throttle position sensor failure, it may indicate a blocked or restricted air
intake filter. Failure symptoms may include:
lPoor engine running and throttle response
lEmission control failure
lNo closed loop idle speed control
lAltitude adaption is incorrect
If a signal failure should occur, a default value is derived using data from the engine load and speed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-41
Following the test, the system returns to normal purge operation after the canister vent solenoid opens. Possible
reasons for an EVAP system leak test failure are listed below:
lFuel filler not tightened or cap missing.
lSensor or actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lEither purge or CVS valve stuck open.
lEither purge or CVS valve stuck shut or blocked pipe.
lPiping broken or not connected.
lLoose or leaking connection.
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection diagnostic, but it will be determined by the engine
management ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.
The evaluation of leakage is dependent on the differential pressure between the fuel tank and ambient atmospheric
pressure, the diagnostic is disabled above altitudes of 9500 ft. (2800 m) to avoid false detection of fuel leaks due to
the change in atmospheric pressure at altitude.
Fuel leak detection system (positive pressure leak detection type) – NAS only
The EVAP system with positive pressure leak detection capability used on NAS vehicles is similar to the standard
system, but also includes a fuel evaporation leak detection pump with integral solenoid valve. It is capable of detecting
holes in the EVAP system down to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.). The test is carried out at the end of a drive cycle, when the
vehicle is stationary and the ignition switch has been turned off. The ECM maintains an earth supply to the Main relay
to hold it on, so that power can be supplied to the leak detection pump.
First a reference measurement is established by passing the pressurised air through a by-pass circuit containing a
fixed sized restriction. The restriction assimilates a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) hole and the current drawn by the pump motor
during this procedure is recorded for comparison against the value to be obtained in the system test. The purge valve
is held closed, and the reversing valve in the leak detection pump module is not energised while the leak detection
pump is switched on. The pressurised air from the leak detection pump is forced through an orifice while the current
drawn by the pump motor is monitored.
Next the EVAP system diagnostic is performed; the solenoid valve is energised so that it closes off the EVAP system's
vent line to atmosphere, and opens a path for the pressurised air from the leak detection pump to be applied to the
closed EVAP system.
The current drawn by the leak detection pump is monitored and checked against that obtained during the reference
measurement. If the current is less than the reference value, this infers there is a hole in the EVAP system greater
than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) which is allowing the positive air pressure to leak out. If the current drawn by the pump motor
is greater than the value obtained during the reference check, the system is sealed and free from leaks. If an EVAP
system leak is detected, the ECM stores the fault in diagnostic memory and the MIL light on the instrument pack is
illuminated.
On NAS vehicles, the ECM works on a 2 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL. On EU-3 vehicles, the ECM works on
a 3 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL.
Following the test, the solenoid valve is opened to normalise the EVAP system pressure and the system returns to
normal purge operation at the start of the next drive cycle. Possible reasons for an EVAP system leak test failure are
listed below:
lFuel filler not tightened or cap missing.
lSensor or actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck open.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck shut.
lBlocked pipe or air filter.
lPiping broken or not connected.
lLoose or leaking connection.
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection test, but will be determined by the engine management
ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics. This test can be run from TestBook.
