DTC Descriptors

DTC P24B9
- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detection Pump Pressure Sensor Performance

DTC P24BA
- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detection Pump Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P24BB
- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detection Pump Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The evaporative emission (EVAP) system uses a EVAP leak detection pump to test for system leaks. The EVAP leak detection pump assembly consists of three main components:

* EVAP leak detection pump with reference orifice

* EVAP leak detection pump switching valve

* EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor

The EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor performs a correlation to barometric pressure (BARO). After a short delay period, the EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor, absolute, reading is compared to the BARO. Large deviations will increment the fail counter threshold and sets a P24B9.

There are two different threshold calibrations used in the comparison to the BARO. A smaller threshold is used when there has been a recent BARO update and then a larger threshold value is used when there has not been a recent BARO update.

P24BA and P24BB

Runs any time the engine control module (ECM) is awake and the propulsion system is active or not active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P24B9

* When the propulsion system is not active - If the difference between the EVAP system leak detection pump pressure sensor, absolute, reading and the BARO value is 3 kPa (0.44 PSI) for 14 s.

* When the propulsion system is active, and after a stabilization time of 10 s - When a recent BARO update has occurred within the last 0.1 km (0.06 mi), if the difference between the EVAP system leak detection pump pressure sensor, absolute, reading and the BARO value from the MAP sensor is 15 kPa (2.17 PSI).

* When a recent BARO update has not occurred within the last 0.1 km (0.06 mi) - If the difference between the EVAP system leak detection pump pressure sensor, absolute, reading and the BARO value from the MAP sensor is 20 kPa (2.9 PSI).

P24BA

The ECM detects that the EVAP system leak detection pump pressure sensor signal is less than 0.7 V for greater than 8 s.

P24BB

The ECM detects that the EVAP system leak detection pump pressure sensor signal is greater than 4.85 V for greater than 8 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P24B9, P24BA and P24BB are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P24B9, P24BA and P24BB are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* A normal BARO reading of the vehicle's geographic location will help to determine if a BARO sensor is significantly off its reading.

* The diagnostic does not run when purge is enabled because it can influence the EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor reading if there is any restriction in the fresh air plumbing.

* Test for a plugged 5 micron in-line vent filter between the EVAP system leak detection pump and the fuel fill neck.

* This diagnostic is disabled when P0451 or P0497 is currently running.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Vehicle in Service Mode, compare the BARO reading against the EVAP leak detection pump sensor reading with a scan tool. Compare this to the Altitude vs. Barometric Pressure Table referenced here Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure.

• A variance of more than 3 kPa (0.44 PSI) indicates a skewed BARO or EVAP leak detection pump sensor.

2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump assembly.

Note: Testing for steps 2-5 is performed on the ECM side of the harness connector.

2. Vehicle OFF, all systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohms between the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump pressure sensor low reference circuit terminal 8 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.

3. Vehicle in Service Mode, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump 5 V reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.

• If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.

4. Verify the scan tool EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor parameter is less than 0.2 V.

• If greater than the specified range, test the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump signal circuit terminal 7 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump signal circuit terminal 7 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor parameter is greater than 4.7 V.

• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.

Note: Testing for this step is performed on the EVAP leak detection pump assembly side of the harness connector.

6. Remove the EVAP assembly and test, inspect, and repair the items listed below. If the items test normal, replace the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump assembly.

* Poor connection at the X351 harness connector

* Open or shorted 5 V reference circuit

* Open or shorted sensor signal circuit

* Open low reference circuit
