DTC Summary

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Note
P1420-00 Evaporative Emission Canister (Small Leak) Leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP system pressure is measured. Reference pressure is measured at the start and at the end of leak check. If stabilized pressure is higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system has a small leak.
  • EVAP leak (purge VSV - canister - fuel vapor-containment valve)
  • Purge VSV
  • Connector/wire harness (purge VSV - ECM)
  • Canister pump module
  • ECM
Comes on SAE Code: P1420
P1421-00 Evaporative Emission Canister (Gross Leak) Leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP system pressure is measured. Reference pressure is measured at the start and at the end of leak check. If stabilized pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], ECM determines that EVAP system has a large leak.
