EVAP Fuel Vapor Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

The EVAP fuel-vapor temperature sensor signal sits below the lower plausibility limit — short to ground or short between signal and ground inside the sensor.

Affected components

  • Evap fuel vapor temp sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Short to ground on signal line
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation

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
