Hi Guys,
I'm getting a P0455 Check engine light code. Seems to happen about 4-5 minutes into driving after I clear the code (disconnecting from battery).
1- Tried tightening cap
2- cleaning cap seal
Does anyone have a diagram on the aveo that outlines this? I cannot seem to find a AVEO manual (like Haynes) since the car is not sold in the United States.
Anyone else experience this problem in an Aveo?
Thanks in advance
Paul
P0455Evap System Large Leak Detected
Technical Description Generic: EvaporativeEmission Control System Leak Detected (no purge flow or large leak) Chrysler:EVAP Large Leak Detected Conditions Ford: EVAP System Leak (No Purge Flow orLarge Leak) Conditions GM: EVAP System Leak Detected Conditions Nissan:Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge system - gross leak What does thatmean? This indicates a fuel vapor leak or lack of purge flow in the EVAPcontrol system. It means a large leak has been detected. The (EVAP) emissioncontrol system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system.Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, whenthe engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum tosiphon the fuel vapors into the engine. Symptoms You likely won't notice anydrivability problems. Causes A code p0455 most likely means one or more of thefollowing has happened: A loose or improperly affixed gas cap A non-conforminggas cap (i.e. not factory/original brand) Other leak or damaged piece in EVAPsystem Possible Solutions With a p0455, the most common repair is to: Removeand reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if thecodes come back. Otherwise, replace the gas cap, and/or Inspect the EVAP systemfor cuts/holes in tubes/hoses (you may hear a vacuum noise or smell fuel),repair if necessary
