Basic version: Natural Vacuum Leak Detection temperature sensor and pressure switch
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Two separate components are fitted in the basic version. The temperature sensor and pressure switch belong to the NVLD. The temperature sensor and corresponding electronics are secured near the fuel tank. The engine control communicates with the temperature sensor through a data line connecting the two. The electronics and temperature sensor are supplied from terminal 30F.
The pressure switch is connected to the electronics and temperature sensor. The pressure switch is located on the side of the carbon canister housing.
