If the sesor reports for more than a few days worth of driving, like Shaun mentioned, you may want to have it checked.

I have had vehicles with both types of sensors. My truck actually has a pressure sensor and a vapor sensor. I had the vapor sensor replace in the truck. I wasn't actually sure if the HCH II had one or the other or both. Thanks for the info chris, I'll keep that in mind.
