P24D7

EVAP System Pressure Sensor or Switch B Circuit Low

Same as P24D5 with the signal voltage below the plausible range. 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.

  • Check engine light: Yes
  • Emissions related: Yes
  • Repair difficulty: easy

Symptoms

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

Common causes

Ordered by how often each turns out to be the cause.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistanceLess likely
  • Harness chafing through insulationLess likely

Parts involved

  • EVAP Pressure Sensor B
