Kia Optima: NVLD(Natural Vacuum Leakage Detection) Description and Operation
| Description |
NVLD(Natural Vacuum Leakage Detection) is located between the
canister and the fuel tank air filter. NVLD is to detect leaks
equivalent to a 0.5 mm hole in the fuel tank, canister and hoses. When
the engine has been running, the temperature of the fuel in the fuel
tank is raised slightly. When the engine is shut off, the temperature of
the fuel should drop. The ideal gas law states that in a sealed system
the pressure drops proportionately to a drop in temperature.

While the engine is shut off, ECM monitors a pressure switch
that is built into the NVLD for detecting slight drop in pressure. If
the switch change is not detected after an engine shut down, it assumes
there is a leak in the sealed system.
