Fuel Tank Leak Detection Control Module - J909-, Checking: General Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The system can test the evaporative system integrity by using natural vacuum after the engine is shut off. The Engine Control Module -J623- monitors the ability of the system to maintain vacuum through signals sent from the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor -G400- / Fuel Tank Leak Detection Control Module -J909-. If the vacuum remains for a specified period of time, then there are no evaporative leaks, and a PASS is reported by the Engine Control Module -J623-. If there is a leak, the system either will not achieve a vacuum, or a vacuum cannot be maintained. Usually a fault can only be detected after a cold start.
