- Ignition switched off.

NOTE: Voltage is supplied to Leak detection pump (LDP) -V144- via the Fuel Pump (FP) relay.

Work procedure
- Remove left rear wheel.
- Remove rear left wheelhouse liner.







- Release and disconnect harness connector -3-.

Checking internal resistance







- Connect multimeter for resistance measurement as follows.

Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- Specified value
Terminal

1 + 3 640 to 720 Ohms
2 + 3 15 to 17 Ohms

If specified values are not obtained:
- Replace Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- see item 11.

If specified values are obtained:

Checking voltage supply







- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:

Harness connector Measure to
Terminal

Engine Ground (GND) 3

- Operate starter briefly.

Specified value: approx. battery voltage

- Switch ignition off.

If specified value is not obtained:
- Check wire connection from harness connector terminal 3 to Fuel Pump (FP) Relay -J17- via fuse for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ohms

- If necessary, repair wire connection.

If voltage supply is OK:

Checking wire connections

Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ohms

- Also check wires for short circuit to each other as well as to B+ and Ground (GND).

Specified value: Infinite Ohms (no continuity)

- If necessary, repair wire connection.

If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Replace Engine Control Module (ECM).
