Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 for resistance as follows:

Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 electrical harness connector terminals	Specified values
1 + 3	640 to 720 Ω
2 + 3	12.5 to 19.5 Ω

If any of the specifications are not obtained:

Replace the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144-. Refer to 26 EXHAUST SYSTEM, EMISSION CONTROLS .

If the specified values are obtained:

Checking voltage supply

NOTE:

The voltage for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- is supplied via the Engine Control Module (ECM) J220.

Check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- for voltage.

Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector terminal 3 to Fuse 43 in the fuse holder for an open circuit.

Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ω.

If the specification is not obtained:

Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

Install the Adapter F/VAG1598 (68 Pin) VAG1598/22. Refer to 24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) .

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing .

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification is not obtained:

Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in wiring:

Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/delete diagnostic data
Perform a road test to verify repair.
If DTC returns, replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing .

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code .

End diagnosis.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:

Install the right rear wheel housing liner. Refer to 66 EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

Check the DTC memory. Refer to.
If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to.
If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to.

End of diagnosis
