Leak Detection Pump Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• Fuse (SB44) OK.
• The ignition switched Off.
• The voltage for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) is supplied by the Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay 2 (J670) through fuse SB-9.
Test procedure
• The engine will need to be at room temperature with a minimum 7 hour shutdown before the ECM will initiate an LDP test. It only occurs once in a drive cycle when all conditions are met.
- Observe safety precautions. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Safety Precautions
- Observe Clean Working Conditions. Refer to => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Start diagnosis
- Remove the right rear wheel housing liner.
- Disconnect the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144) electrical harness connector - 3 -.
Checking internal resistance
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (V144) for resistance as follows:
If the specified values were not obtained:
- Replace the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-). Refer to the Repair Information.
If the specified values are obtained:
Checking voltage supply
- Start the engine.
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical harness connector terminal 3 to ground for voltage.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
- Switch the engine Off.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring from the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical harness connector terminal 3 to fuse 9 in Fuse Panel B for high resistance, an open circuit or a short circuit to Ground. Refer to Wiring Diagrams.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking output wiring
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.
- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) electrical connector terminals to Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical connector T94 terminals for an open circuit.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms.
If the specified value is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for high resistance, an open or a short to voltage or ground.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring, the LDP resistance was OK and the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
