  • MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTC is stored in PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • EVAP system leak detection pump malfunction
  • Open circuit between the main relay and EVAP system leak detection pump terminal A
  • Open circuit between the EVAP system leak detection pump terminal D and PCM terminal 1X
  • Short to ground circuit between the EVAP system leak detection pump terminal D and PCM terminal 1X
