No. I did not. I didn't want to do any more crawling under the car. I'm old and I get dizzy when I'm lying down underneath the car for long periods of time.
I wouldn't doubt it is the leak detection pump or electrical wiring for the "correct" factory fix.

The test I mentioned is within the VIDA software. No climbing under anywhere except dash to plug in DICE. Commonly this pump fails and reports a leak. Also I believe there was a software update for this module / pump as it originally detected a fault at too low of tolerance.
I don’t believe restricting your vent charcoal filter should ever be necessary.

Maybe someone near you in WA can assist. I’m sure abscate wouldn’t mind driving from the east coast. :lol:

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

I would love to but I’m on the wrong side of the Atlantic eating Danishes.

Don't fix it. Just keep clearing the code to turn off the light.
Unless you live in a place that punishes you have having emissions codes set. Then move to another place!
