EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Switching Valve Stuck On
Moderate severity
What it means
The LDP switching valve is stuck in the activated position. 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.
