Question QUESTION: Could you please explain to me, what a leak detect pump pressure switch is. Also its location. My car is a 1999 Chrysler Sebring JXI 2.5L v-6. This is the only code that came up. Thanks for your help, Joe
ANSWER: it's a pump that holds and applies pressure to the gas tank and other systems to see if there is a leak.The switch is just the electrical part to see if it is closed or not for diog.
