Refueling Vapor Control Valve Circuit Open
The refueling vapor control valve - typically part of the ORVR or capless fueling system - has an open control circuit. The valve directs fuel vapor from the tank into the canister during refueling and must open when the fuel filler is opened. Without it, vapor escapes during refueling and the system fails leak diagnostics.

Common causes
- High likelihood: Open in harness or solenoid winding
