Thank you for a great video with step-by-step troubleshooting of this issue. A quick suggestion for anyone reading this post and having this EVAP code issue. If you do not pump your own gas, before you buy a new gas cap, or consider any other repair, check to see that your gas cap was properly closed/tightened the last time you put gas on the car. I have had a loose gas cap trigger this code in a few occasions and the fix was as simply as to tighten the cap correctly. Thanks again.

gotta mention that you will see a ton of smoke coming out of a black vent cylinder in your 328i that's normal. You have to disable the vent canister before you smoke test. I saw mine smoking and bought a new one. Do not do that. You have to back probe and ground pin 3 of the DMTL pump THEN test. Doing otherwise will cost you money and time.
@alexmack9563 ай бұрын
What do you mean by “back probe?” Also when you say jump pin 3 are you disabling the dmtl pump?
@987CAYMAN073 ай бұрын
Back probe is where you stock a metal implement usually a sewing needle or paper clip through the back of rubber insulation to keep the circuit intact. It actuates the valve. You’ll just be dumping smoke out the vent and not be troubleshooting if you skip this step.

Quick heads up.... if fuel is coming out of the DMTL fiber filter it is most likely the fuel tank vent valve causing the issue. It's a complete bear to trouble shoot as it throws codes for other evap items. If the car will not fill up past a half tank and the throttle surges after filling up, or even stalls out completely, check the fuel tank vent valve.

Great information... My 2008 E90 335XI sedan had the Service Engine Soon light come on. It was reset, but the light came back on after about 10 days. Where would the Vapor Detection Pump and the Charcoal Canister be located on my 2008 BMW? I need to go to inspection this month and it couldn't be worse timing. Thanks and super well done video.

awesome vid. I'm so tired of all those fantasy videos solving the problem by replacing the purge valve or canister vent solenoid. If they were the problem, the previous owners would've kept the car after replacing them the first 3 times instead of selling the car cheap.

A bad gas cap can cause the fuel goes into the canister? My e90 have a bad idle and is stalling every time I run. I disconnected the tank line of canister and a lot of gas was pump off. The canister is full of fuel too 😢

I went to the smoke test and found smoke pouring out of the dust filter that sits next to my charcoal canister on my E39. Does it sound like the filter is bad? Or do I have to crimp off or plug the connection to the filter? Many thanks.

So, is there not a DMTL vent valve within the BMW Evap system, which is open with the ignition off and the engine off. And when open, vents the evap canister to air? So if you run your smoke test as you indicate, and dont force this valve closed, then you will just get smoke coming out the vent rather than out the canister or its connections, or out the gas cap or out the fuel pump connection? Any insights appreciated as i am about to test the evap system on my E39 525i.

Mmm is it possible that when I’m testing it the smoke isn’t coming out of the gas tank when the cap is open because I have a full tank?
