- When the voltage on the input is below 0.72 V for more than 1 s.
(Value is -15 L in case of a fault)

Dependent:
- None

System reaction to a fault:
- The control module uses a substitute value of 40 litres when fault is detected.

OK report:
- Fault criteria NOT fulfilled for 2 s with engine running.

Fault handling:
- Type III without Check Engine.
- (See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.)
