EVAP System Large Leak Detected Fresh Air Side
Same as P04EB on the fresh-air side, but with a leak large enough to prevent test build-up. The evaporative system captures fuel vapor from the tank and purges it into intake; leaks or stuck purge valves leak hydrocarbons and cause emissions failures.

- Evap hose fresh air side
Common causes
- High likelihood: Vent valve stuck open
- Medium likelihood: Hose pulled off or torn
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Possible smell of fuel near tank or engine bay
