P24F9

Exhaust Aftertreatment Fuel Air Purge Valve Control Circuit Range/Performance

The valve coil is electrically intact, but the response (current rise time, return-current decay, position feedback) does not match the ECM model. Typical for solenoids losing magnetic strength after long thermal cycling, or armatures with increased friction from coking.

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