Can drive — fix at your convenience.
This code means the computer detected a general electrical malfunction in the EVAP vent valve or pressure sensor circuit that monitors the system. This circuit helps the car detect leaks and manage fuel vapors. The fix usually involves replacing a faulty sensor or valve, or repairing wiring and connectors, and it's typically an affordable job.
$100 – $300
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Yes, in almost all cases. The engine runs normally because this is an emissions-monitoring fault. Just plan to fix it before an emissions test and to keep the EVAP system working as intended.
Typically $100 to $300, depending on whether a sensor, valve, or just wiring needs work. The parts are usually inexpensive, and labor varies by how accessible the component is.
No, it's a low-severity code. It won't harm your engine or affect safety. The main downsides are the check engine light and a likely emissions-test failure until repaired.
It's most often the EVAP pressure sensor or vent valve circuit, frequently due to a bad connector or corroded wiring. A technician can test the circuit to confirm whether the part or the wiring is at fault.
