on 2020 Lincoln Aviator 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 · RWD

What this code means

  • Damaged or clogged vacuum lines
  • Defective charcoal canister
  • Wiring issue to purge solenoid
  • Clogged hose between purge valve and fuel tank

Diagnostic steps

  1. Command purge solenoid open/closed with scan tool and verify operation
  2. Test purge solenoid resistance
  3. Inspect vacuum lines for cracks or blockages
  4. Use smoke machine to check EVAP system for leaks
  5. Check for blockages between fuel tank and canister

Repair notes

Replace purge valve solenoid. Repair damaged vacuum lines. Replace charcoal canister if contaminated.
