EVAP Vent Valve

Lets the charcoal canister breathe in normal running and closes to seal the system so the module can run a leak test. Mounted near the canister underneath the vehicle, where road spray, salt and dirt reach both the valve and its connector — on salted roads this is among the most common evaporative faults, and the connector is worth inspecting before the valve is condemned.

Also known as: vent valve, vent solenoid, canister vent valve, cvs, canister close valve

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

Nothing posted about this yet. Whatever you found is worth writing down — even a dead end saves someone the same afternoon.

What makes one worth reading:

The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
What you measured, not only what you replaced.
What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
