OBD-II code · Powertrain (generic, extended)

P24D7 EVAP System Pressure Sensor or Switch B Circuit Low

Same as P24D5 with the signal voltage below the plausible range. The evaporative system captures fuel vapor from the tank and purges it into intake; leaks or stuck purge valves leak hydrocarbons and cause emissions failures.

Is it safe to drive with P24D7?

Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
