P2420

2GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2420: Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High

DTC P2420 - Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High

DTC SUMMARY

HINT:
The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.

DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System EVAP System.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the EVAP System EVAP System.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

P2420: Vent valve stuck open (vent)
In operation C, the vent valve turns ON (closes) and the EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM, using the canister pressure sensor, to conduct an EVAP leak check. If the pressure does not increase when the vent valve is open, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
