Same as P24D5 with intermittent or erratic signal. 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.
Affected components
- Evap pressure sensor b
Common causes
- High likelihood: Intermittent contact at connector
- Low likelihood: Connector with intermittent contact under vibration
- Low likelihood: Harness routed against vibrating component
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
