Methods and systems are provided for determining a status of an air filter in an intake of an engine in a hybrid vehicle. One example method includes, during an engine-off condition, utilizing a pump in an evaporative leak check module of the hybrid vehicle to produce a pressure in an intake manifold of the engine, and indicating degradation of the air filter based on a comparison of barometric pressure and the pressure produced in the intake manifold. In this way, degradation of the air filter may be determined without engine operation.
