Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-420C

Condition




When the control module activates evaporative emission system (EVAP) control, the idle air trim or short-term fuel trim will change.

The engine control module (ECM) interprets this as a damaged evaporative emission (EVAP) system.

Substitute value
None.
