I've never played around with the vacuum system before - do you guys rent / buy a smoke machine to test this or are there other diagnostic steps to take first? If I should buy / rent a machine, can anyone recommend one?

This is where you will go wrong !!

You have fallen flat on your face at the first Hurdle !!


READ THE FAULT CODE !!

009218 - EVAP Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit P2402 - 000 - Short to Plus - MIL ON

There is no leak !

It is the Pump and or its Control Circuit - Short to Plus !!


Output Test ?
Wiring Diagram from ERWIN and some testing !!


The forum would like a Full Autoscan posted !

You are absolutely right! I appreciate your guidance - I'm very much a novice here and with all car repair. I gotta read more carefully.

Here's the full autoscan.

[Dr Sheldon]

I gotta read more carefully.

Or you will waste lots of time and money chasing the wrong thing !!

 

[Uwe]

Here's the full autoscan.

Please do not use the [Print] function in VCDS to post data here. The formatting it produces is intended for a sheet-fed printer, but it's much harder to read here than the native text that VCDS produces. That native text can be had using the [Copy] button in VCDS, or by opening any of the .txt files in your Logs or Scans sub-folder with Notepad and then copying the data to paste here.

I'll do that going forward!

Note that "Short to Plus" can be caused by a missing/bad ground in the circuit.

Well - at least I correctly interpreted one thing here this evening! Ha. Currently trying to source wiring diagrams, the provided links from @Dr Sheldon seem to require a subscription for users in the US and I'd rather not pay to subscribe if I can avoid it. I already own a multimeter. So my next step is to find the pump and control circuits and begin looking for shorts!

I would pay the dollar and download all the factory information and diagrams. For one payment you have them forever !! And they will be accurate !!

Can be a short but it might not be !

 

[Bruce]

You can buy access to erWin in the US for $35 for a day. Download everything you want to a flash drive and keep for the future. You do not need a long term subscription.

That's a good point as well. I'm gonna see if I can trace it out on my own first, this is a third car and a beater so it's a great opportunity for me to learn and if I make something worse it's ultimately not a big deal. If I can't sort it on my own, I'll subscribe and get the diagrams then cancel.

 

[PetrolDave]

I'll subscribe and get the diagrams then cancel.

The subscription Bruce refers to is only for 24 hours, there's no need to cancel as it self-cancels!

Not gonna lie that makes it so much more appealing haha
