Tank pressure sensor ME - fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-21LA

USA ONLY

    Fuel tank pressure sensor, signal implausible
1 Fault code
(USA ONLY Readout on generic scan tool)
P2072 (P0450)
2 Fault storage after expiry of test duration and fault
Actuation
CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
following two successive driving cycles with faults
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status tank pressure sensor signal
5 Fault setting conditions  Less than 3.3 V (equivalent to an approx. +5 mbar vacuum)
Limit value About 10 seconds per limit value
Checking duration  
6 Check prerequisites
  • idle
  • cold start (coolant temperature less than +40°C).
6 IMPORTANT If an engine at normal operating temperature has been shut down for long enough (coolant temperature dropped below +40°C), then the tank pressure must have been removed. If the sensor voltage exceeds the limit value, the tank pressure is too high. Either the fuel tank pressure sensor is defective or the activated charcoal canister is clogged.
The leak test for purging will be locked out if there is a fault.
Characteristic of the tank pressure sensor: - 50 mbar, about 0.5 volts; 0 mbar, about 3.0 volts; +30 mbar approx. 4.5 volts.
