U02BBLost Communication With EVAP System Purge Pump

U02BB is a generic communication fault indicating that a control module on the vehicle's network has lost contact with the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system purge pump, which is a small electric pump used on some systems to pressurize the fuel tank for leak testing. The computer sets this code when it expects periodic status messages from the purge pump module but does not receive them within the required time window.
