Fuel System, Checking For Leaks
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2020 Audi S4, 2019 Audi S4, 2019 Audi A4 allroad, 2019 Audi A4, and 2018 Audi S4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The function of the leak detection system is based on the premise that the fuel system creates a natural vacuum when the fuel in the fuel tank becomes colder.
- The Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor -G400- -2- senses the vacuum in the bleed line from the EVAP canister -3-. The Fuel Tank Leak Detection Control Module -J909- -5- is attached directly to the wall of the fuel tank and monitors the temperature inside the fuel tank -4-. The system is considered to be closed if the measured vacuum is 2.5 mbar (0.036 psi). If there is no vacuum, then there is a leak in the fuel system, which will result in an entry in the engine control module DTC memory.
