Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 , checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required 

• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements 

• The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 fuse OK.
• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure 

• Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing 

Start diagnosis 

• Remove the right rear wheel housing liner.

• Disconnect the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 electrical harness connector - arrow  -.

Checking internal resistance 

• 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 

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

• Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector terminal 3 for voltage.

3	Engine Ground (GND)

• Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

• Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

• 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  .

• Using a Multimeter , check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 electrical connector T80 terminals for an open circuit.

3	Fuse 43 in fuse holder

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:

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

End of diagnosis
