The code P1421 refers to a problem with the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system in a 2007 vehicle. The EVAP system is responsible for trapping fuel vapors from the fuel tank and storing them in a charcoal canister. The vapors are then drawn into the engine to be burned off during normal operation.

When the engine control module (ECM) detects a problem with the EVAP system, it will store the P1421 code and turn on the check engine light.

Possible causes for the P1421 code in a 2007 vehicle could include a malfunctioning canister purge valve, a leak in the EVAP system, a malfunctioning pressure sensor, or a problem with the fuel tank filler cap.

To diagnose and repair the problem, a trained technician will use a scan tool to retrieve the stored code and any freeze frame data. This information can be used to pinpoint the problem area. The technician will then perform a visual inspection of the EVAP system, including the canister purge valve, the hoses and the fuel tank filler cap. They will also perform a smoke test to check for leaks in the system.

Once the cause of the problem has been determined, the necessary repairs can be made. This may include replacing a faulty valve or sensor, sealing a leak in the system, or replacing a damaged fuel tank filler cap.

It's important to note that P1421 is a serious issue, and should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the vehicle. The vehicle may fail emissions tests, and the fuel efficiency can be impacted negatively.

In summary, the code P1421 refers to a problem with the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system in a 2007 vehicle. The EVAP system is responsible for trapping fuel vapors from the fuel tank and storing them in a charcoal canister. Possible causes for the P1421 code in a 2007 vehicle could include a malfunctioning canister purge valve, a leak in the EVAP system, a malfunctioning pressure sensor, or a problem with the fuel tank filler cap. A trained technician will use a scan tool to retrieve the stored code and any freeze frame data, and perform a visual inspection and smoke test to check for leaks in the system. Once the cause of the problem has been determined, the necessary repairs can be made, it's important to address the issue as soon as possible.
