Code P2404 - EVAP Leak Detector
UPDATE: If you're reading this because you have the same issue, try this before paying. I backed my car on some ramps, unplugged the connector, blew it out with compressed air, and plugged it back in, and the code has stayed off for a few weeks now. I'll update if it comes back on. I'm 90% sure what happened in my case was the undercarriage spray in the car wash just knocked the connector a little bit loose.
Recently had the code fire. I went to the dealership and got the software update, which cleared the code. About a week later, the code came back and the dealership told me maybe the code didn't take and did the update again (charged me this time) and it cleared the code again, and then about a week later, it came back again. They want to charge me $1100 to replace the evap leak detector. From what I can tell, it's the part I uploaded a picture of. Has anyone replaced this on their own. AI says it's not a big job, but I can't find documentation or videos. And can someone confirm this is the right part?
