Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not smoke-test only for leaks before checking the pressure sensor circuit; the monitor may be failing from bad pressure feedback.
