What does this fault code mean?
Although the code is named vent valve stuck closed, it applies when the power consumption during the reference phase of the leakage diagnosis is unreasonable. The engine control module (ECM) takes this to mean that the valve in the pump is damaged and sets the code.
Possible causes
- Dirt or moisture in the pump
- The pump valve has seized
- Damaged leakage diagnosis pump
What you can do
- 1Check that the relevant fuses are intact; their locations are shown in the car's owner's manual
- 2Check that the hoses and connections on the leak diagnostic unit and the canister are not damaged or loosely fitted
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool, run the fuel tank leak test and see whether the result points to the leak diagnostic unit
- 4Have a workshop check the engine control module software; on cars of model year 2007–2008 this should be done before the leak fault is traced
- 5If the fault returns, have a workshop decide whether the leak diagnostic unit needs replacing
Symptoms you may notice1
- The malfunction indicator lamp lights up
What the fault can affect1
- The leakage diagnosis is interrupted
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
