DTC SUMMARY
DTC No. | Monitoring Item | Malfunction Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Detection Timing | Detection Logic |
P2420 | Vent valve stuck open (vent) | Following condition met during key-off EVAP monitor:
|
| While ignition switch off | 2 trip |
- HINT:
- The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.
DESCRIPTION
The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System (Click here).INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to the EVAP System (Click here).MONITOR DESCRIPTION
5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.- HINT:
- *: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
Sequence | Operation | Description | Duration |
- | ECM activation | Activated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after ignition switch turned off. | - |
A | Atmospheric pressure measurement | Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor. | 60 seconds |
B | First reference pressure measurement | In order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally. | 60 seconds |
C | EVAP system pressure measurement | Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then measured. Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check. If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor. | 15 minutes* |
D | Purge VSV monitor | Purge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normality. | 10 seconds |
E | Second reference pressure measurement | After second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second reference pressure. If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking. | 60 seconds |
- | Final check | Atmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM. | - |
P2420: Vent valve stuck open (vent)
In operation C, the vent valve turns ON (closes) and the EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor to conduct an EVAP leak check. If the pressure does not increase when the vent valve is open, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

MONITOR RESULT
Refer to Checking Monitor Status (Click here).CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- NOTICE:
- The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 6 steps performed automatically by Techstream. It takes a maximum of the approximately 18 minutes.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
- Do not run the engine during this operation.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].
- Enter the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.
- After the "Evaporative System Check" is completed, check All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P2420.
- Check the DTC judgment result [B].
Tester Display Description NORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE - DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A - Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
- HINT:
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- DTC judgment completed
- If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (Click here).
- HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
