EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Switching Valve Control Circuit Low
Same as P24BD with the control line shorted to ground. 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 leak detection pump switching valve
Common causes
- High likelihood: Control line shorted to ground
- 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
