Activating the leak diagnostic
- Start the engine and let it idle.NOTE:
The engine must be idling throughout the test.
- Clicking the VCT2000 symbol to activate the leak diagnostic
- Wait until the engine coolant temperature (ECT) exceeds 50 °C
- Start the leak diagnostic. YES is displayed during leak diagnostics
- Wait until the leak diagnostic is complete. Leak diagnostic active NO and leak diagnostic complete YES is displayed when the leak diagnostic is complete.
HINT: The time taken for the diagnostic varies depending on the fault status of the fuel tank system. The diagnostic may take up to 4 minutes.
- Read off the results of the leak diagnostic. The leak diagnostic results are read off automatically when the test has been correctly completed
- The OK status will be displayed if the control module has not detected any faults. The Not OK status, and a number from 1-8 will be displayed if the control module has detected any faults. To interpret these faults, see the status definitions below.NOTE:
The status types can be translated into diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). However they are not stored as DTCs during this test.
- Click the stop button to re-run the test.
Status definitions:
- OK = The system is free of faults
- Not OK, status 1 = Leak diagnostic pump, signal too low. (ECM-65, signal too low)
- Not OK, status 2 = Leak diagnostic pump, signal too high. (ECM-65, signal too high)
- Not OK, status 3 = Leak diagnostic pump, faulty signal. (ECM-65, faulty signal)
- Not OK, status 4 = Leak diagnostic pump, blocked hose. (ECM-66, signal too low)
- Not OK, status 5 = Leakage 0.5 mm. (ECM-68, minor leak)
- Not OK, status 6 = Leakage 1 mm. (ECM-68, major leak)
- Not OK, status 7 = Leakage larger than 1 mm. (ECM-68, Fuel tank filler cap missing)
- Not OK, status 8 = Evaporative emission (EVAP) system blocked. (ECM-6A, signal too low).
Select a suitable alternative to continue:
- The status is OK
VERIFIED: Troubleshooting has been completed.
- Status Not OK, status 1, 2 or 3
Refer to Information
- Status Not OK, (for another diagnostic trouble code (DTC)) has been detected.
