Method for testing the functionality of a tank venting system of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine

摘要

A method for testing the functionality of a tank system of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, including a controllable tank venting valve connected to an intake manifold and at least one pressure source for testing the tightness of the tank venting system using overpressure or underpressure, the functionality of the tank venting valve being tested via its activation in an opening and/or closing manner during pressurizing the tank system using overpressure or underpressure and by registering and evaluating at least one operating variable of the pressure source. The tank system is pressurized with overpressure or underpressure and the at least one operating variable of the pressure source is registered and evaluated during operation of the engine.
