DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition PCM P144B:00 EVAP System Secondary Purge Vapor Line Restricted/Blocked: No Sub Type Information Evaporative Emission System Secondary Purge Vapor Line Restricted/Blocked PCM P24C0:00 EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Switching Valve Stuck On: No Sub Type Information Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Switching Valve Stuck On Possible Sources
- Fuel tank filler pipe
- A1 CHECK THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS FOR SIGNS OF DAMAGE
- Visually inspect the following components for signs of damage:
- Fuel tank filler pipe
- Fuel tank filler pipe vent tube, (if equipped)
- EVAP system (look for kinked or bent vapor lines)
- Fuel tank inlet check valve (part of the fuel tank)
- Fuel level vent valve (part of the fuel tank)
- EVAP canister (may be saturated with liquid)
Are any of the components damaged?
Yes REPAIR or INSTALL a new components to correct the concern. No GO to A2 - Visually inspect the following components for signs of damage:
- A2 CHECK THE SYSTEM FOR ANY INDICATION TYPE DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) S
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM self-test.
- Check for any of the following indication DTCs: P25B0, P0461, P0462, P0463.
Are any indication DTCs present?
Yes If DTC's are present, refer to REFER to: FUEL TANK AND LINES . No If no DTC's proceed to check for EVAPDTCs. GO to A3 - A3 CHECK THE SYSTEM FOR ANY EVAP (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION) DTCS
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM self-test.
- Check the PCM for any of the EVAPDTCs: P00FE, P04B4, P04F0, P04F1, P0496, P24BD, P24BE, P24BF, P24C1, P144B, P2418, P2419, P2420, P2450, P2451, P0451, P0452 and P0453.
Are any EVAP system DTC's present?
Yes REFER to: FUEL TANK AND LINES . No GO to A4 - A4 MONITOR THE FTP WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK
- Monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) for typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
Access the PCM and monitor the FTP_V (V) PID
Is the FTP less than 1" H2O / 0.25 kPa?
Yes GO to A5 No Is the FTP less than 12" H2O / 3.0 kPa? Yes : GO to A6 No : GO to A7 - Monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) for typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
- A5 INSPECT THE FUEL FILLER PIPE and VAPOR RECIRCULATION LINE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel filler pipe from the fuel tank.
- Inspect the fuel filler pipe for damage or blockage.
Is the fuel filler pipe assembly blocked or damaged?
Yes Replace the fuel filler pipe assembly. REFER to: Fuel Tank Filler Pipe . No Replace the fuel tank assembly. REFER to: Fuel Tank . - A6 REFUEL USING A DIFFERENT FUEL FILL NOZZLE
- Using a different fuel pump nozzle, monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) for typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
Access the PCM and monitor the FTP_V (V) PID
Is the FTP less than 12" H2O / 3.0 kPa?
Yes System Normal - Unable to identify the root cause at this time. No GO to A7 - Using a different fuel pump nozzle, monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) for typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
- A7 DIAGNOSE THE FRESH AIR HOSE
- Disconnect the fresh air line from evaporative leak detection pump (ELDP).
Is the fresh air hose blocked or damaged?
Yes Repair / Replace the fresh air hose. No GO to A8 - A8 DIAGNOSE THE EVAPORATIVE LEAK DETECTION PUMP (ELDP)
- Disconnect the evaporative leak detection pump (ELDP) from the EVAP canister.
- Monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) to typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
Access the PCM and monitor the FTP_V (V) PID
Is the FTP less than 12" H2O / 3.0 kPa?
Yes Remove / Replace the evaporative leak detection pump (ELDP). REFER to: Evaporative Emission System Leak Test . No GO to A9 - A9 DIAGNOSE THE EVAP CANISTER
- Disconnect the EVAP canister from the fuel vapor load line.
- Monitor the fuel tank pressure (FTP) to typical diagnostic reference values while filling the fuel tank.
Access the PCM and monitor the FTP_V (V) PID
Is the FTP less than 12" H2O / 3.0 kPa?
Yes Remove / Replace the EVAP canister. REFER to: Evaporative Emission Canister . No Remove / Replace the fuel vapor line including the fuel vapor vent valve (FVVV) and fuel tank isolation valve (FTIV).
