P04F1EVAP System Purge Line Performance

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
How the car detects it
P04F1 is the function check of a purge line that is not the high-load path A – by the wording of another code list the low-pressure path to the intake manifold, counterpart of P04F0. The purge valve opens and the tank pressure or mixture reaction is missing or wrong: the line is blocked or off, or a check valve sticks. CARB requires every purge path to be checked; a FCA patent describes such a stepwise test. No manufacturer document available to us names this code.
