DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P2421
DTC P2421:Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Vent Shut Valve Stuck Open
General Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) does a detection of stuck open of the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent shut valve only if it is commanded closed since the EVAP canister vent shut valve is normally opened. When the EVAP canister vent shut valve is commanded closed during the purge, the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor value lowers by a decompression of the EVAP system. If the FTP sensor value does not lower, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Confirmation Procedure
Operating Condition
|
1. |
Start the engine. Hold the engine speed [Engine Speed] at 3,000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on. |
|
2. |
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and leave the vehicle for at least 6 hours. |
|
3. |
Start the engine. Hold the engine speed [Engine Speed] at 3,000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on. |
|
4. |
Let it idle for at least 5 minutes 45 seconds. |
|
5. |
Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or more with avoidance of high load. |
|
|
When you have difficulty duplicating the DTC because of road conditions and traffic situations, repeat the driving pattern several times. |
|
|
Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow. |
With the HDS
None.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery. |
