Your car has a leak detection pump. It’s detected a leak. You’re going to have to smoke the evap system to determine where it’s leaking. VIDA could walk you through the tests. I haven’t had to do this (yet) but a common failure is the “J hose” under the back seat, that runs over the gas tank. Not easy to get to, some Googling will show you what I mean. Still, while that’s common, it doesn’t mean that’s what is wrong with yours, so do the smoke check and troubleshoot it completely before firing up the parts cannon...
