Code result
P24BA
EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Pressure Sensor Circuit Low
Moderate severity
What it means
Same as P24B8 with the signal voltage below the plausible range. The evaporative system captures fuel vapor from the tank and purges it into intake; leaks or stuck purge valves leak hydrocarbons and cause emissions failures.
Is it safe to drive?
Use caution
The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
