EVAP Pressure Sensor Low

Meaning

Signal voltage from the EVAP fuel tank pressure sensor is below the minimum threshold, typically under 0.1 V. The ECU detects a short to ground or sensor failure.

Common causes

  • Short to ground in signal wire
  • Corroded or damaged connector
  • Failed pressure sensor
  • Reference voltage loss

Symptoms

  • MIL illuminated
  • EVAP monitor fails
  • No driveability impact

Severity

Low — does not affect driveability but prevents emissions monitoring.

What to do

  1. Measure signal voltage at sensor connector
  2. Check signal wire for short to ground
  3. Inspect connector and terminals
  4. Substitute sensor if wiring is intact
