Leak Detection Pump Checking

2012 Volkswagen CC 4Motion (357) V6-3.6L (CNNA)SECTION Leak Detection Pump Checking






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.
