NOTE:
US version:
Heavy vehicles with automatic transmissions or all-wheel drive vehicles have a second supply point (= second purge air line) from the tank vent valve via the suction jet pump (= Venturi nozzle) in front of the compressor.
Until 03/2012, a shutoff valve is installed for the diagnosis (= Continental high pressure pump)
From 03/2012, a pressure sensor is installed for the suction jet pump for the diagnosis (= Bosch high pressure pump)
European version:
These vehicles also have the 2nd purge air line. However, it will not be diagnosed. Neither a shutoff valve nor a pressure sensor is installed for the Venturi nozzle.
