: KLI9210 Preparation:

NOTE:

Depending on the version, the appearance of the : KLI9210 may vary.

-- Check the : KLI9210 to make sure there is enough fluid in the smoke generator.

-- Set the valve -D- to "Hold".

-- Open the nitrogen bottle -H-.

-- Connect the measuring hose -G- to the self-test connection -B-.

-- Set the valve -D- to "Test".

-- Using the pressure reducer -J-, adjust the pressure to 25 mbar (10 in. H2O).

-- Set the valve -D- to "Hold".

If the pressure is not maintained, check the tester.

The procedure changed when the electrical Leak Detection Pump -V144- was introduced.

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Select the Guided Functions mode on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

-- Select the Check tank ventilation system for leaks guided function.

-- Start the test.

-- Watch the pressure gauge on the : KLI9210 .

The Leak Detection Pump -V144- must pump the fuel system pressure up to at least 25 mbar (10 in. H2O).

The Minimum Pressure is not Reached and the Pressure Reached Decreases Immediately:

-- Clamp off the hose to the EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve 1 -N80- with a hose clamp -arrow-.

-- Repeat the test. If the minimum pressure is now reached: replace the EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve 1 -N80-.

The Minimum Pressure is not Reached Again or the Pressure Reached Decreases Immediately:

-- There is a leak in the fuel system: Perform the test "Check for Leak In Fuel System". Refer to Fuel System Leak Detection .
