P2404 - Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance
System
Powertrain (Engine & Gearbox)
Technical Description
The control module has detected a fault in the Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance (P2404). The reported signal is electrically valid but disagrees with other operating parameters (RPM, load, or other sensors).
Multimeter Test Points & Nominal Values
| Test Point / Component | Measurement | Nominal Target Range | Test Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance – Coil Resistance | Resistance (Ω) | 3 - 30 Ω (typical) | Connector disconnected at 20°C |
| Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance – Duty Cycle | PWM (%) | 5 - 95 % (modulates with target) | Engine running, actuator in control |
| Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance – Supply Voltage | Voltage (V) | 11.8 - 14.4 V | Ignition ON at connector |

Recommended Solution
Log component live data across varying load points and verify plausibility against engine target model.
Verify loaded supply voltage and harness terminal pins at Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance.
Check circuit continuity and ground-side voltage drop (< 0.05 V) for Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak Detection Pump Sense Range/Performance.
Check supply and the low-side driver at the ECM connector. Replace the actuator or repair the circuit based on the readings.
Mechanic's Tip
Use the scan-tool output test with the scope on the control side at the same time. If duty changes but the actuator does not move, the valve is stuck — not the electrical fault you were chasing.
