P2407

Moderate

Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

What Does P2407 Mean?

The leak detection pump sense circuit is providing inconsistent or erratic readings to the PCM. This suggests an intermittent electrical problem rather than a constant fault.

Common Causes

40%

Intermittent connection at leak detection pump connector

Electrical Connector
Connector Terminals

30%

Chafed or damaged wiring with intermittent short or open

Wiring Harness

20%

Failing leak detection pump with intermittent internal fault

Leak Detection Pump

7%

Moisture intrusion in connector causing intermittent signal loss

Electrical Connector
Connector Seal

3%

Poor ground connection in EVAP system circuit

Ground Wire
Ground Point

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Wiggle test all wiring and connectors while monitoring scan tool live data for signal dropout

2

Step 2: Inspect wiring harness routing for contact with hot or moving components that could cause intermittent damage

3

Step 3: Check connector terminals for looseness, corrosion, or bent pins causing poor contact

4

Step 4: Apply dielectric grease to connector and secure all connections, clear codes and road test

5

Step 5: If fault returns, replace leak detection pump and retest

Estimated Repair Cost

$120 - $600

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2407 mean?

The leak detection pump sense circuit is providing inconsistent or erratic readings to the PCM. This suggests an intermittent electrical problem rather than a constant fault.

What causes P2407?

The most common cause of P2407 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Intermittent/Erratic) is: Intermittent connection at leak detection pump connector

How much does it cost to fix P2407?

Typical repair costs for P2407 range from $120 to $600, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2407?

Vehicle is safe to drive. Intermittent fault may cause check engine light to come and go, affecting emissions compliance.

How do I diagnose P2407?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2407 to identify the root cause.
