EVAP Purge Flow Sensor Circuit High

EVAP purge flow sensor above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. 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 purge flow sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Open signal line
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Possible smell of fuel near tank or engine bay
  • Failed emissions inspection
  • Loose-cap warning may appear

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
