Most purge valves are located under the hood. Look for a line attached downstream of or on the throttle body heading back toward the firewall. You can also check some of the larger parts stores (NAPA, for example) sites for part locators that will give you a picture of where it is.
Generically, this code means there was no flow of vapor from the canister when the purge valve was open. Check for the proper operation of the purge valve (located in the line from the intake side of the engine) and the line itself. Hope this helps!
I did some digging and found two Toyota factory TSBs that you may want to look at; EG003-02 and EG005-01. I also learned that "Check Mode" eliminates the 2-trip detection requirement and impacts the code parameters. It doesn't allow you to complete the monitor any faster, but it can help in repair verification.
The purge valve is located in the line leading from the canister to the engine's intake manifold. You can access the Kia factory information site for free for details on testing and replacement. Just go to oem1stop.com and click on the Kia logo.
There were two problems on this car. One involved a factory recall on the engine's computer and it was included to stress the need to check for factory service bulletins during the course of your repair. Once the new ECM was installed, we tackled the leak code. Should have stuck around! :-)
There is a valve on the tank that allows fuel vapors to pass through this line. Sounds like it's failed. When you remove the fuel cap, do you year any rush of air out, as if the tank is under pressure? Another symptom of a clogged or defective valve.
As I know you are aware evap monitors can take a long time to run. I was thinking/wondering if check mode can be used to cut down on that time and confirm repairs faster than letting the monitor run via drive cycles which it would require to cycles to complete
First, which line are you checking, the purge or vent line? Whichever, i wouldn't recommend blowing the debris in the tank. It's going to end up clogging your fuel pump! The only thing that clogs an evap line is a failed charcoal canister. You're going to have to drop the tank.
Could you share with me about older vehicles that have OBD1 values ! Mine is 1990 dodge w150 4x4 with 5.2 and TBI set up. I have been hearing lately that prior to 1996 the ECM dosen't always use the data to set certain codes like the newer models . Just curious if you have any info to advise me !! I am from the Auto-Body side of our Trade for 40 years now wishing to retire.Feel free to contact me for any and all of your personal questions on my side. More than happy to give you the direction you need to make an informed decision on your Auto-Body Questions. Thanks buddy!! Montana Rick.
You can access Mitchell 1's DIY info at eautorepair (dot) net or connect direct with Ford by logging on to the OEM matrix at oem1stop (dot) com. Both will charge a fee, so get a few discs and burn the manual for your car for later use.
Dropping the tank isn't that difficult. Get two motorcycle tiedown straps and use one at either end of the tank to support the weight. Loosen each a little bit at a time to lower the tank to the ground.
OK, I'm confused. Why are you chasing down an EVAP problem that, according to the computer, doesn't exist? You have no EVAP related codes set, right? I'd worry more about the system lean codes and get those fixed.
Please help after resetting my 2000 Toyota Camry with a OBD 2 scanner i have driven my car over 520 miles...the check enginge sign never came back but all the monitors reported expect one EVAP System Monitor its says INC (incomplete) ??? i know 520 miles too long a mechanic would not wait that long.yesterday i reset the car computer again this time by disconnecting negative battery terminal after driving for15 miles all the monitors reported expect EVAP system monitor i am supposed to take the state of illinois emission in January does it means it won't pass the emission test??? please suggest what to do i really appreciate it thanks..
The EVAP monitor can be the most difficult to reset. It depends on how the car is being driven, how much fuel is in the tank and numerous other factors. Most states that have emissions test allow at least one monitor to be "Not Ready". Don't reset it again! Then you start all over...
had code po455 come up on my 09 ford escape with 4 cyl engine -took vapor purge valve off (located at front of engine) cleaned with pb blaster and compressed air -engine Iight went off next day -mike -Brantford.ca
I don't know what state you're in, or what the inspection laws there are but it sounds messed up. If there is a problem with the system, the ECM will set a related code. If it's fumes past the gas cap, the seal on the cap may be all that is wrong. As for the rest, timing chains can be replaced and lean codes should be fixed. If the inspector is failing you for emissions, then THAT should be the reason for the failure. Maybe you need another opinion....
How can I fix a canister vent valve solenoid in a 2006 Kia Optima??? Where is located? The check engine light has been on for months and even the Kia company said it's the purge valve and I have had the car diagnosed by other shops. Can anyone help me???
Those aren't from Freeze Frame. FF data is that data the ECM records at the time it matures a code and turns on the CEL. It's also called Mode $02 on some scanners and is a Global OBD II mode. That engine load number is high, too. I did some background checking and found instances of torn air intake boots causing this complaint. The codes are for generic fuel control and not necessarily for lean or rich. Smoke the intake or visually inspect the boot and let me know...
Motor Age thank you I really appreciate your time with this. I have replaced all engine vacuum lines and boots and then a complete smoke test and found no leaks. If I force a vacuum leak or an unmetered air leak between mass airflow and throttle body fuel trims go back to close to 0. That's what makes me think it might be too much vapor coming from the vapor canister causing the rich condition. If the canister vent is stuck closed, when the ecm opens the purge valve would that cause a rich condition if no o2 is mixing with vapor before entering manifold?
So far, I haven't seen any numbers indicating a rich condition. And I don't think so. If the canister vent is closed, the system will be pulled into a vacuum pretty quick and I'm betting that would set a code. Try a Volumetric Efficiency test on it and see if the MAF is reporting accurately. Good luck!
I see you have a 5 series BMW on the rack. I would like to see how that evap system works and causes due to failure. I'm having a rich condition with my BMW and think it's the evap system with no evap codes.
The only way I can think of that your EVAP system would cause a "system rich" issue would be a purge solenoid that wasn't closing when it should. How do you know it's rich? Have you looked at the fuel trim numbers? When is it rich - idle, cruise, all the time?
Motor Age it is Rich all the time my diagnostic tool shows feel trim in this format. Using data Stream, adaption, mixture 1, additive 0.15-0.50 ms. Same on bank 2. Adaption, mixture 1, multiplicative - 2.2--8.0%. Same on bank 2. When it passes 8.0% either way it throughs check engine light. Codes are p1188 and p1189 fuel trim bank 1&2 permissible range exceeded. And codes p0170 and p0173 fuel trim banks 1&2 control limit. This only happens rarely. I have tested everything. Purge valve tests ok but don't know if ecm is actually shutting off power to valve.
Ok. My scan tool does not freeze frame it just shows live data. I used a snap on tool at work this morning. Freeze framed everything. If you want to see it it would have to be emailed. There is a lot of info. At Idol with car warmed up fuel trim is -.20 ms and about -3 1/2% both banks. While driving the percentage fluctuates from us much is -5% on acceleration and around -4% at highway cruise speed and then drops down or should I say goes up to -2% when decelerating. I really appreciate your time and help. Joe
Video quality has unbelievably improved so much since 2011
I try. It's been a learning experience for sure! Perhaps its time to revisit some of these older topics?
@@MotorAgeMagazine sure why not?

I don't know, but I would suspect so. Check with the AE folks directly or check the list of supported functions on their website.

Can't believe I'm spent 5 minutes watching this to hear the mechanic say "time to take it to the dealer" -__-

What model year and make Toyota are you asking about? I've personally never needed to use this method to get an EVAP monitor to reset.
Please provide the actual code designation. Should be a "P----" something. We'll see that we can do to help!

Can Toyotas check mode be used to set the evap readiness monitor faster?

What caused the P0456?
Was it false due to defective ECM?
Looked like a lot of smoke coming from fuel cap.

Use your Global OBD II mode and tell me what the Freeze Frame data is. Need to know when it's "rich".
