2004 Volvo XC90 with 2.5L engine and AWD.

The Check Engine light is on and I went to the local auto store to have the codes read. Here are the codes that were recorded:

P0497: Evaporative Emission System Low Purge Flow
P2406: Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit High

The local auto parts store recommends replacing the Canister Purge Valve -- $62 for the new valve.

Where is the Canister Purge Valve located on the 2004 XC90?
Could other parts be needed to correct the issue(s) and clear the codes?

Thanks in advance!

 

You probably have a bad leak detection pump

probably Not a bad valve, but could be easily tested (but not by replacement!)

Do you live where an emission inspection is needed to register your car? If not erase the codes, if they come back and you don't want to /have extra cash - ignore your check engine light.

Save your cash for something that you really need.

 

hoonk, no emissions inspection required where we live. Thanks for the comment on the LDP. I'll research it. Where is it located on the XC90?

Thanks!
