A method is provided, comprising: during a first condition, opening a fuel tank isolation valve while maintaining a canister purge valve closed; and indicating degradation of the canister purge valve based on an output of a universal exhaust gas oxygen (UEGO) sensor. The UEGO sensor output will indicate whether any fuel vapor vented from the fuel tank reaches intake through the commanded closed canister purge valve. In this way, canister purge valve degradation may be diagnosed in vehicles that do not include a functional fuel tank pressure sensor or canister vent valve.

A method, comprising: during a first condition, opening a fuel tank isolation valve while maintaining a canister purge valve closed; andindicating degradation of the canister purge valve based on an output of a universal exhaust gas oxygen (UEGO) sensor. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first condition comprises a lean engine diagnostic code. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein indicating degradation of the canister purge valve based on the output of the UEGO sensor comprises indicating degradation of the canister purge valve responsive to the UEGO sensor indicating a threshold decrease in exhaust gas oxygen. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: indicating an intact canister purge valve responsive to the UEGO sensor not indicating a threshold decrease in exhaust gas oxygen. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the threshold decrease in exhaust gas oxygen is based on one or more operating conditions. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more operating conditions include a fuel composition. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more operating conditions do not include a fuel tank pressure. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: maintaining the fuel tank isolation valve closed until the fuel tank isolation valve closed duration increases above a threshold. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: adjusting a commanded air/fuel ratio responsive to the indication of degradation of the canister purge valve. 10. A fuel system for a vehicle, comprising: a fuel tank coupled to a fuel vapor canister via a fuel tank isolation valve;an engine intake coupled to the fuel vapor canister via a canister purge valve;an universal exhaust gas oxygen (UEGO) sensor coupled to an engine exhaust; anda controller configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to: responsive to an engine lean code, open the fuel tank isolation valve while maintaining the canister purge valve closed; andindicate degradation of the canister purge valve based on an output of the UEGO sensor. 11. The fuel system of claim 10, wherein the fuel vapor canister is coupled to atmosphere via a vent line, the vent line not comprising a canister vent valve. 12. The fuel system of claim 10, wherein the fuel tank is not coupled to a fuel tank pressure sensor. 13. The fuel system of claim 10, wherein the controller is further configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to: establish a UEGO sensor output threshold based on one or more operating conditions; andindicate degradation of the canister purge valve responsive to the UEGO sensor output decreasing below the threshold. 14. The fuel system of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to: indicate an intact canister purge valve responsive to the UEGO sensor output not decreasing below the threshold. 15. The fuel system of claim 13, where the one or more operating conditions include a fuel composition. 16. The fuel system of claim 13, where the one or more operating conditions include a fuel level. 17. The fuel system of claim 13, where the one or more operating conditions do not include a fuel tank pressure. 18. The fuel system of claim 10, wherein the controller is further configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to: open the fuel tank isolation valve responsive to a fuel tank isolation valve closed duration being greater than a threshold. 19. The fuel system of claim 10, wherein the fuel vapor canister comprises a fuel vapor canister buffer, and wherein the fuel tank is coupled to a load port of the fuel vapor canister buffer. 20. A method for a fuel system, comprising: responsive to a lean engine diagnostic code, maintaining a fuel tank isolation valve closed for a threshold duration;opening the fuel tank isolation valve while maintaining a canister purge valve closed;establishing a threshold output of an universal exhaust gas oxygen (UEGO) sensor based on one or more operating conditions;indicating degradation of the canister purge valve responsive to the output of the UEGO sensor decreasing below the threshold; andclosing the fuel tank isolation valve.
