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
