2.VACUUM LEAK
NOTE: This code is enabled on engines with a plastic intake manifold and is intended to shut down the
engine if a large crack occurs.
NOTE: A large vacuum leak is most likely the cause of this DTC.
Inspect the Intake Manifold for leaks and cracks.
Inspect the Power Brake Booster for any vacuum leaks.
Inspect the PCV system for proper operation and vacuum leaks.
Inspect the throttle plate to see if it is bent and will close entirely, if itis bent it may need to be replaced.
Inspect the MAP Sensor for proper installation.
Verify the engine is free from any mechanical failures.
