P2407 on 2015-2022 Volkswagen Golf R (MK7 R, MK7.5 R, MK8 R) — Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
1 vehicles · 1 makes · $30-$500 repair
Most Reported On
P2407 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Intermittent/Erratic.” This code indicates the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected an intermittent or erratic signal on the evaporative emission (EVAP) system leak detection pump sense circuit. The leak detection pump is used to pressurize the EVAP system to check for fuel vapor leaks, and an unstable or inconsistent reading from its sense circuit triggers this fault. It is an emissions/monitoring issue rather than a drivability problem. This code is most commonly reported on 2015-2022 Volkswagen Golf R (MK7 R, MK7.5 R, MK8 R), with repair costs ranging from $30 to $500.
