Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Leak Detection Pump, Checking
Special tools and workshop equipment requiredÂ
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.
Test requirementsÂ
- The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- fuse is OK.
- The ignition switched OFF.
Test procedureÂ
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECKÂ
Start diagnosisÂ
-- Remove the right rear wheel housing liner. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Disconnect the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector -2-.
Checking internal resistanceÂ
-- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- for resistance as follows:
| Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V144- electrical harness connector terminals | Specified values |
|---|---|
| -1- to -3- | 640 to 720 Ω |
| -2- to -3- | 15 to 17 Ω |
If any of the specifications are Not obtained:
-- Replace the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144--. Refer to the Repair information.
If the specified values are obtained:
Checking voltage supplyÂ
The voltage for the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- is supplied via fuse in fuse panel B. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for fuse number as it varies by model year.
-- Check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- for voltage.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- electrical harness connector terminal 3 for voltage. Connect the negative multimeter lead to engine ground.
-- Turn the ignition switch ON.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
-- Switch the ignition OFF.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Remove fuse in Fuse Panel B. Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- wiring from terminal 3 to fuse in Fuse Panel B. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for fuse number.
Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ω.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring for high resistance or an open circuit.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking wiringÂ
-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- electrical connector terminal 1 to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T94 terminal 44 for an open circuit or high resistance.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) --V144-- electrical connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T94 terminal 49 for an open circuit or high resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.
If the specification was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive, high resistance or an open circuit.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified values were obtained and no wiring faults are present:
-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.
Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:
-- Install the right rear wheel housing liner. Refer to the Repair information.
Final proceduresÂ
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORYÂ .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORYÂ .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODEÂ .

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.
