P24D5EVAP System Pressure Sensor/Switch B Circuit

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
How the car detects it
P24D5 is the general circuit code for a second EVAP pressure sensor, called B to tell it apart from the main sensor A (P0450 range). Which sensor is B depends on the maker: Mitsubishi's 2023 Outlander PHEV uses it for an absolute fuel tank pressure sensor on its sealed tank, GM for a canister vapour pressure sensor, and Audi's bulletin 2069531 assigns sensor 2 to the G950 part in the purge path. No manufacturer documents P24D5 itself publicly; all three use the more specific P24D6 to P24D8. CARB requires circuit checks on every EVAP input. A stored P24D5 suggests a fault in the 5 V reference, ground or signal wire of that sensor; until it is fixed the leak or purge diagnostics depending on it are blocked.
What you may notice
  • Malfunction indicator lamp on
  • EVAP readiness monitor incomplete
Likely causes
  • LikelyOpen or shorted reference, ground or signal wire of sensor B
  • PossibleLoose or corroded connector at sensor B
  • PossibleEVAP pressure sensor B failed
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
Repair
Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €50 – €350
