Thanks for the video......I have to see what code I have, but if that is the code I have, you just saved me a trip to a repair shop! Either way...Thanks!
@@hustleandfun one problem brother! I don’t have them equipments 🥺. I am going to order the parts tho thru Amazon, I HAVE to get it fixed before April ends. That’s when my registration ends
Thank you so much for the video. I have a 2016 Maxima and I was wondering maybe you can give me your opinion on my issue. A few weeks ago I've noticed that my fuel gauge is inaccurate (I got a full tank but the gauge was showing half) and after a couple of day the gauge went to empty and I my check engine light turned on showing the code P0463 (inaccurate fuel level readings from the fuel level sensor), I decided to buy a new aftermarket Fuel Pump with sending unite (TRQ fuel pump was cheaper than Nissan sending unite alone). That solved the fuel gauge issue but the check engine light still on and now showing code P0456 = Evaporative emission control system leak (small). I drove the car a couple of day and I made sure there are no leaks under the back seat + I checked the fuel cap. Maybe a bad Evap Purge Valve causing the issue? Any thoughts
Slavik, it does sound like you have a bad Evap Purge Valve if you are getting the code: PO 456. Before replacing it, you may want to clean your fuel cap and the filler port (where put the fuel in your car). You can test the purge valve by putting a vacuum on the intake port side and seeing if it will hold a vacuum. If you decide to buy a new part, I found it to be the cheapest on Amazon, I think it was less than $20. I hope that helped, thank you for watching my videos!
@@hustleandfun First of all thank you for taking the time to respond. I think on my 2016 Maxima the Evap Purge Valve causing is located at the front but I am not sure. If you got a min maybe you can google "2016 nissan maxima EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LINE DRAWING" and go to "Images" and when you click on the first image I think the Valve is under the No. "2" maybe you can confirm that for me. Thanks again!
@@SlavikMilerFitness I found the diagram, The diagram that you are referring to I think, shows that there are 2 solenoid valve assemblies. I think that these are different from the purge valves that I made the video of. I would test the purge valve first, and if it is bad, replace it, then I would look at other things to replace.
Since the purge valve is relatively cheap, and not that difficult to replace, I would start with this. Of course I would check the fuel cap also. If you have a “smoke “ machine that can detect leaks in your emission system, it would be useful. Sometimes you can use soapy water to find some leaks as well. I would start with the cheapest easiest solutions at first.
@@hustleandfun Thank you for taking the time and helping out. Well eventually I found the problem, the fuel pump sealing rubber band had a small tear and that was the cause of PO463. after replacing it the code disappeared
It could be s number of things. It could be a leaking fuel line or connection. If you smell it right after filling up your car, it could be a leak at your filler tube that goes to your fuel tank, or the fuel tank itself. Take a look at the place you park if you have any spots on the pavement under your vehicle to see what part of your car may have the leak coming from.

You are welcome, I hope that it works out for you!
Thank you so much! I have a 2012 maxima that has the same problem, too bad you’re not in NY I would bring my car to you 😊
It is not that difficult to replace the purge control valve on that car. Just make sure that when you raise your car, it is well supported.

It's a headache to install

I appreciate the effort but this video is bad for newbies. You need to zoom out or pull the camera back for some perspective for the viewer.
I have a 2012 maxima with a fuel smell;what could it be?
It could be s number of things. It could be a leaking fuel line or connection. If you smell it right after filling up your car, it could be a leak at your filler tube that goes to your fuel tank, or the fuel tank itself.

Where exactly did you go under the car? Front driver side underneath?
Back rear middle
More toward driver side
