Fuel System, Checking For Leaks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Audi S4 and 2021 Audi A4 Quattro. 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.
