EVAP System High Load Purge Line A Performance
Moderate severity
What it means
On engines that have a separate high-load purge line - to use boost pressure to pull vapor on turbo applications - the ECU monitors flow when this path is commanded. The flow is below the expected level - the venturi, line, or check valve is restricted, or the line is incorrectly routed.
Is it safe to drive?
