    摘要: The invention is directed to a method of checking the tightness of a tank-venting apparatus for a motor vehicle having a fuel tank and an internal combustion engine including a lambda controller and an air intake pipe. The tank-venting apparatus includes an adsorption filter, a supply line interconnecting the adsorption filter and the fuel tank, a connecting line interconnecting the adsorption filter and the intake pipe and a tank-venting valve mounted in the connecting line between the adsorption filter and the intake pipe. The method includes the steps of: measuring the pressure difference between pressure in the tank and ambient pressure; when the tank-venting valve is opened, determining whether the pressure difference increases above a threshold value and whether a lean correction by the lambda controller is required; and, drawing the conclusion that the tank-venting apparatus leaks when neither a lean correction is determined nor the pressure difference exceeds the threshold value. The method is based on the recognition that, when the tank-venting valve is open, either an underpressure must build up in the tank or a lean correction must be determined by the lambda controller based on the fuel vaporizing in the tank. The method is very reliable by simultaneously carrying out these two checks.
