MIL Solid / Cruise Flashing
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (Very Small Leak).
ACTION: Inspect the EVAP purge solenoid valve mounted under the intake manifold runners. Verify the valve seals 100% against vacuum when de-energized; replace if drawing vacuum in neutral rest state.
Red Seal field insights
Purge Valve Leakage: The engine purge valve seat degrades over time from fuel vapor exposure, pulling uncommanded vacuum from the charcoal canister during sealed engine-off EVAP tests.
