Refuelling while a leak diagnosis is taking place
The digital engine management system detects refuelling during
a leak diagnosis as a result of the pressure drop when the fuel
filler cap is opened and the subsequent pressure increase when
the tank is filled.
In this case, the leakage diagnosis is interrupted, the solenoid
valve in the DMTL module is switched off and the tank pressure
escapes via the activated carbon filter.
If refuelling does not take place immediately after the fuel filler
cap has been opened, the system detects a large leak and the
digital engine management system records an error. If refuelling
is detected in the next driving cycle, the error is cleared.
