Can drive — fix at your convenience.
This code means the EVAP pressure sensor is reading a value that's too low or outside its normal operating range. This sensor tracks pressure in the fuel tank and EVAP system to detect leaks. The fix usually involves replacing the pressure sensor or checking the connector and wiring, and on some vehicles a stuck-open vent valve or loose gas cap can contribute.
$120 – $320
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Yes, in almost all cases. The car drives normally since this is an emissions-monitoring fault. Just fix it before an emissions test and to keep the EVAP leak detection accurate.
Typically $120 to $320. The pressure sensor is the main part cost, and labor depends on its location near the fuel tank. If a loose gas cap or simple hose is the cause, the fix can be much cheaper.
No, it's a low-severity code. It won't harm your engine or affect safety. The biggest downsides are the check engine light and a likely emissions-test failure until repaired.
Sometimes, yes. A loose or missing gas cap can throw off tank pressure enough to push the sensor reading out of range. It's worth tightening or replacing the cap and clearing the code before assuming the sensor is bad.
