Failure of the component
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the fuel tank pressure sensor fails the following behavior can be expected:
- Fault entry in the engine control unit
- Lighting up of emissions warning light
After the emissions warning light illuminates there is no other noticeable perception by the customer.
- As the pressure in the fuel tank can no longer be measured if the fuel tank pressure sensor fails, the fuel tank non-return valve is opened permanently as a protective function. Pressure compensation to the environment is thus guaranteed.
