DTC Descriptors

DTC P145C: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detection Pump Stuck Off

DTC P145D: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detection Pump Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

The evaporative emission (EVAP) system uses a EVAP leak detection pump to test for system leaks. The EVAP leak detection pump assembly consists of the following components:

    • EVAP leak detection pump with reference orifice
    • EVAP leak detection pump switching valve
    • EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor

The EVAP leak detection vacuum pump stuck off test is performed by comparing an initial stabilised EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor, absolute, reading to a second stabilised reading for a short period of time.

The EVAP leak detection vacuum pump stuck on test is performed after the switching valve transitions from vent to not venting, pump, position. If after the second EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor reading, a difference between the two pressure readings indicates the EVAP leak detection vacuum pump is stuck on.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P145C

The EVAP leak detection pump is commanded ON during the first reference orifice vacuum measurement and the stabilized EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor vacuum reading is less than 0.1 kPa (0.01 PSI) for greater than 6 min.

Or

The EVAP leak detection pump is commanded ON during the second reference orifice vacuum measurement and the stabilized EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor vacuum reading is less than 0.1 kPa (0.01 PSI) for greater than 30 s.

P145D

The EVAP leak detection pump is commanded OFF for the first time and the EVAP leak detection pump switching valve has transitioned from vent to not venting, pump position. The difference between an initial EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor reading and a second EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor reading is greater than 1 kPa (0.14 PSI) for greater than 8 s.

Or

The EVAP leak detection pump is commanded OFF for the second time and the EVAP leak detection pump pressure sensor vacuum reading is greater than 1.18 kPa (0.17 PSI) for greater than 14 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P145C and P145D are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Circuit/System Verification

    • Vehicle in Service Mode, verify the scan tool parameter for the EVAP leak detection pump pressure compared against the conditions for setting.
       ⇒If found out of range proceed to Circuit/System Testing.
    • Verify that DTCs P2400, P2401 or P2402 is not set.
       ⇒If any of the DTCs are set refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions .
       ⇓If none of the DTCs are set.
    • Inspect for any aftermarket devices added that might have spliced into wire harness circuits that control the EVAP leak detection pump.
    • Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. If DTCs P2400, P2401 or P2402 are present repair these before proceeding, Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions
  2. If none of the above DTCs are present verify the scan tool parameter for the EVAP leak detection pump pressure.
  3. If found out of range, replace the Q63 evaporative emission system leak detection pump assembly.
