OBD2 Car ScannerWhat does P2025 mean?
P2025 stands for Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Fuel Vapor Temperature Sensor Performance. The engine computer has found a problem with how fuel and air are measured or mixed. This affects fuel economy, emissions and sometimes how smoothly the engine runs.
Powertrain codes cover the engine, transmission and emissions. When the car's computer sees a reading outside its normal range, it stores this code and may turn on a warning light on the dashboard.
Common causes
- Vacuum or intake air leaks
- Dirty or faulty mass airflow (MAF) sensor
- Faulty oxygen sensor or its wiring
- Fuel pressure problems (pump, filter or regulator)
- Clogged or leaking fuel injectors
What to do
- Read all stored and pending codes with a scanner. Several codes together often point to one cause.
- Note the freeze frame data (speed, temperature, load) recorded when the code was set.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors of the part named in the code for damage, corrosion or looseness.
- Fix the most likely and cheapest cause first, then clear the code and drive to see if it comes back.
