STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED 
  • Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTC

4 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION 
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Disconnect EVAP system leak detection pump connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 11.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Inspect for continuity between EVAP system leak detection pimp terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace wiring harness for open circuit, then go to Step 11.
6 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION 
  • Turn the ignition switch off.

  • Is there continuity?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for short to ground, then go to Step 11.
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP MOTOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Inspect for continuity between EVAP system leak detection pump terminal D (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1U (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace wiring harness for open circuit, then go to Step 11.
9 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP POWER CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Inspect for continuity between EVAP system leak detection pump terminal A (wiring harness-side) and main relay.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace wiring harness for open circuit, then go to Step 11.
10 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP  Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the EVAP system leak detection pump, then go to the next step.
(See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
11 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2401 COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
  • Perform the evaporative emission test using the WDS or equivalent.

    (See EVAP system leak inspection using WDS or equivalent .)

  • Is the same DTC present?
    NOTE:
    • If evaporative system test function is not available, perform the following procedure:
    • Perform the EVAP System Repair Verification Drive Mode.

      (See OBD-II DRIVE MODE  .)

    • Is the PENDING CODE the same as the DTC present?
Yes Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
12 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE  .)
