DTC P0458: Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Low

P0458 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PURGE CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the state of the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve circuit output driver. The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum limit for the commanded state.
Possible Causes: 
  • VPWR circuit open
  • EVAP canister purge valve circuit short to ground
  • Damaged EVAP canister purge valve
  • EVAP canister purge valve circuit open
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  To verify normal function, monitor the EVAP canister purge valve signal PID EVAPCP. With the valve closed, the EVAPCP indicates 0% duty cycle. When the valve is commanded fully open, the EVAPCP indicates 100% duty cycle.
