Basic version: Natural Vacuum Leak Detection temperature sensor and pressure switch

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.

Two separate components are fitted in the basic version. The temperature sensor and pressure switch belong to the NVLD. The temperature sensor and corresponding electronics are secured near the fuel tank. The engine control communicates with the temperature sensor through a data line connecting the two. The electronics and temperature sensor are supplied from terminal 30F.

The pressure switch is connected to the electronics and temperature sensor. The pressure switch is located on the side of the carbon canister housing.
