    Excellent video! My aftermarket gas cap, only 4 months new, was the cause of the P0455 error code because of the gas cap no longer maintained a proper seal on my 2009 Silverado. A new OEM gas cap solved the problem.

    Thanks. Exactly how I like a video. Explain the system operation so can troubleshoot.
    To the point.
    I have a 2012 Tahoe with this code for a few weeks and started to leak fuel. Found the elbow on the fuel pump had rusted out. I am feeling fairly certain that will be the cause of the code but have yet to finish replacing the pump to verify.

    Just a note to add, to these issues people are having with trying to get rid of this pain in ass code, I've been through it all, And after really thinking hard about it, The only switch that wasn't switched out was the Tank pressure switch, It's in the same harness as the rest of the components, and if there is a glitch in the sensor, It will put on the Evap code failure, The glitch in the switch will drive you crazy, So for around 40 bucks, Just replace that pressure switch, Yes I know the switch usually causes other problems, like hard start, But again they share the same harness,

    I have a 2007 cobalt. Years ago a recall replaced the fuel tank few other things. It was fine until now. A couple weeks ago the info started reading ' check gas cap' popped up on dash. Then it was hard to start so i bought an aftermarket gas cap which seemed to fix problem but now im getting p0455 and difficulty starting sometimes so now im going to try the ac delco oem type gas cap and hope thats it.

  • @grominwithrob1339
    @grominwithrob1339 Год назад +1

    My gmc Sierra throws this and will leave a small 5”-6” wet spot under the filler neck. Everything is bone dry except the tank. The amount of gas makes me think a line has a small leak under pressure. It drains a tiny bit until it’s not under pressure. I haven’t been able to confirm this yet but it seems right since time and fuel level doesn’t dictate amount of fuel that leaks. It’s always the same amount. If it sits longer, the little spot evaporates so it doesn’t seem to be a continual leak. I’m thinking a small hole in a line above the tank. Hoping it’s a fuel line and not a pinhole on the plastic pumps line connections where they weld the two halves together.

    Questions; You mention when the purge valve opens or closes, what about the cannister vent valve? Is it always open except when the computer tests the system for leaks? And how often does the computer test for leaks?

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  7 месяцев назад +1

      The vent valve is normally open until closed by the computer. It varies between vehicles when the computer tests the system. Often, it is 2-3 hours after the vehicle has been shut off.

    Does this affect starting. When I first get in to start, it hesitates to start after that initial one it starts easily unless it sits for a couple hours

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  Год назад +1

      Usually, the Evap system does not affect starting unless the purge valve is stuck open. If the purge valve is stuck open, it can let gas vapor into the engine, which can cause start issues.

    Does the PO455 code require a reset or will the check engine light go off when the problem is fixed?

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  4 месяца назад

      Once the problem is fixed, it will likely go off eventually on its own; when it goes off, it depends on the computer. Usually, the code is cleared with a scan tool. It can be cleared by removing a battery terminal for 2-3 minutes, but any settings in the vehicle will be lost. Automotive stores will often come out and scan or clear codes for free.

This is a motor home so it isn’t driven every day. I pushed the connectors in tight and checked the hoses and cleared out the debris. When I checked, the check engine light was off. I been starting it occasionally and it’s still off. I wasn’t sure if the light would have gone out so fast. Is that possible or a coincidence?
