Fault Family
System: Powertrain (P-Codes)
2 SAE Codes
Alternative Fuel Pressure Leak
Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P240D (Alternative Fuel Low Pressure System Leak) sets when the CNG/LPG fuel control module's pressure-decay test finds the compressed gas supply losing pressure faster than the calibrated leak threshold on either the low-pressure regulated side or the high-pressure tank side of the system. Because the fuel is stored under high pressure, causes are a leaking high-pressure fitting, a failing tank valve seal, or a cracked regulator diaphragm, and any of these requires the vehicle's gas-system depressurization procedure before repair.
These 2 diagnostic trouble codes share one
detection mechanism and one repair path, which is why MechanicDB groups them into a single
authored fault family rather than repeating the same explanation 2 times.
