Technical Service Bulletin 20 MIL on (DTC P045600 - EVAP System Leak Detected NVLD (very small leak)) 20 13 28 2035073/2 November 14, 2013. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 20 number 13-27 dated October 16, 2013 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year A4/S4 2013 - 2014 A5/S5 2013 - 2014 A5/S5 Cab 2013 - 2014 A6 2012-2014 A7 2012-2014 Q5 2013 - 2014 VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All Not Applicable Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 2 - Revised header data (Added Q5) 1 10/16/2013 Initial publication • MIL on. • DTC P045600 (EVAP System Leak Detected NVLD (very small leak)) is stored in the engine control module (ECM), J623 (address word 01). • Drivability is not affected. Technical Background After the engine is switched off, the fuel system creates a natural vacuum as the fuel in the fuel tank cools off. If the natural vacuum leak detection (NVLD) system cannot detect this natural vacuum during the system self-test, the DTC will be stored in the ECM. System self-test background: • The NVLD system checks the natural vacuum that is created in the fuel tank as the fuel cools after the engine has been switched off. • The fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, senses the vacuum in the bleed line near the EVAP canister.

Technical Service Bulletin tank leak detection control module, J909, monitors the temperature inside the fuel tank. • The fuel system is considered to be closed (leak-free) if the measured vacuum is 2.5 mbar (0.04 PSI). • If no vacuum is detected, there is a vacuum leak in the EVAP system, and the DTC will be stored. System self-test requirements: • For the self-test to initiate, the following requirements must be met: • Ignition is off. • Ambient air temperature is greater than -10°C (14°F). • Fuel temperature drops for more than one hour by more than 6°C (11°F). This varies by model; see Elsa >>Engine >> Generic Scan Tool >> ST Generic Scan Tool >> Diagnosis and Testing >> DTC Tables. • Example of a 6°C (11°F) drop: From 10°C (50ºF) to 4°C (39ºF) within one hour (Figure 1). Figure 1. Example of a 6°C (11°F) drop: From 10°C (50ºF) to 4°C (39ºF) within one hour. • Altitude is less than 2700 m (8858 ft.). • Ambient pressure is greater than 730.04 hPa (10.6 PSI). • Time since ignition has been off is more than 1.5 hours but less than 10 hours. • Difference between ambient pressure at stop and ambient pressure at start is less than 6.47 hPa (0.09 PSI). © 2013 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Service Bulletin Production Solution New pressure sensors in production: • For vehicles with a fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, and a fuel tank leak detection control module, J909, that are separate (two components): part numbers 8K0906253 and 8K0906253B are superseded to 8K0906253D. • For vehicles with a fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, and a fuel tank leak detection control module, J909, which are integrated (one component): part numbers 8K0906253A and 8K0906253C are superseded to 8K0906253E. Note: Always use a VIN to search parts in ETKA. Service Use the images below to determine the type of EVAP system: • Separate fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, and fuel tank leak detection control module, J909 (Figure 2). Figure 2. Separate sensor and control module. • Integrated fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, and fuel tank leak detection control module, J909 (Figure 3). Figure 3.

Technical Service Bulletin Note: Due to the functionality of the new tank leak diagnostic system (NVLD), it is not possible to check the system using a basic setting or an output diagnostic test mode like the previously-used LDP system. Diagnosis 1. Visually inspect the EVAP system for any loose connections or damaged parts: • If found, repair the loose connections and replace the damaged parts. 2. Check N80 valve for proper operation (Engine >> Generic Scan Tool >> ST Generic Scan Tool >> Diagnosis and Testing >> Diagnostic Procedures >>EVAP Purge Regulator Valve, Checking): • Replace the valve if faulty. 3. Inspect fuel cap and address any issues before advancing to the next step: • If the fuel cap is loose / not properly installed, reinstall the cap. • If the fuel cap seal is damaged, replace the seal. • If foreign objects are obstructing the sealing surface, remove the obstruction. 4. Test the fuel cap using the Evaporative Emissions Tester KLI9210: • If necessary, replace the fuel cap seal or fuel cap. 5. Pressurize the EVAP system using the KLI9210 Smoke/Pressure test: • Disconnect the air filter hose from the pressure sensor. Seal the pressure sensor opening with a clean plug from the Engine Bung Set VAS 6122, or similar (Figure 4 and Figure 5). The plug must fit securely and not allow any air to leak. • Pressurize the EVAP system to 12 inch/water (30mbar), and check pressure loss over time. Figure 4.

Technical Service Bulletin Figure 5. Example of plug inserted over the pressure sensor filter pipe 6. If remaining pressure after 3 minutes is 9 inch/water (22.4 mbar) or higher, the system has no leaks: • Replace the pressure sensor (G400 or G400/J909) with the latest part number (see parts catalog). If remaining pressure after 3 min is lower than 9 inch/water (22.4 mbar), the system has a leak. • Locate the leak with the smoke generator function of the Evaporative Emissions Tester KLI9210 and repair as necessary. © 2013 Audi of America, Inc.
