Chevy Sonic Check Engine Light Code p0496

- This video describes how to diagnose the CEL code P0496 on a 2014 Chevy Sonic with a 1.8 L engine. This demonstration on changing the purge valve should work on all first generation Chevy Sonics with the 1.8 L engine. First generation Chevy Sonics are 2012- 2016.
Unfortunately, this video is only a description on how to do this fix. I did not think to shoot a video on this fix until after I had reinstalled the part. I do believe, however, that this description is adequate enough to successfully change out this part.
Thank you SO much for this! My car kept struggling to turn on when I put gas in, & when I googled the issue, it met all of the symptoms for the purge valve. This saved me SO MUCH MONEY & took less than 10 mins! God bless you for your generosity of knowledge & wisdom!
Thanks for the video, this was what was wrong with our 2013 Sonic. I did check the old one and you were right, it didn't hold vacuum from either direction. Amazon had the same valve as yours now under $17. Light is out and hasn't come back for two weeks now. Thumbs up.
Your description of removing the electrical connector @ about 3:00 to 4:00 minutes in the video is the best I've seen of all the related Chevy Sonic Purge Valve Replacement videos at RUclips. Thanks, this helped me a lot to replace this assembly 55573017 on my 2013 Sonic LTZ hatchback 1.4 Turbo, 6-speed stick.
I couldn't manage to get that computer module off :(
I really appreciate your posting this video. I was able to change the Vapor Canister Purge Value on my 2018 Chevrolet Sonic LT with your verbal explanation.
God damn it man, I was getting so scared o had some serious issues. I cleared the code after filling up, but then a long crank and hesitating start again. Hopefully this is it man, thank you so much
Awesome description man. Saved a lot of worries I had about it being something more crazy serious.
Dude you’re a life saver thank you so much
I wish I had seen your video before replacing my valve. I watched other people’s videos and none went into detail on how to remove the clips, so I ended up breaking the little white one while trying to pull it out and sent the blue one flying into the abyss, I also broke the little blue one that releases the electrical connector because I didn’t know what I was supposed to do to remove the electrical connector. Anyways, I did remove and reattach the electrical connector but had to zip tie the hose because of the broken white and missing blue retainer hose clips. I’m in the process of calling the local dealers now to see if I can buy those 2 little clips. Fingers crossed. I hope the zip ties do the trick for now. Haven’t driven the car yet. Hopefully the missing clips don’t allow a leak that will cause the light to come back on. I did zip tie it pretty tight.
Nice tip helped me out a lot I stay in Cali and the dealer charged me $32.00
Thanks for this. I just replaced that with the help of your video. Hopefully it helps with the fuel problem I've been having
Jeff Killey Glad I could help👍🏽
Did it help with the issue? I just got a 2012 LTZ 1.4 and it has been the shop twice now and its still not wanting to start when I get gas. Starts every other time though.
@@sherrysbooks it helped me, after I replaced the part I longer had an engine code and my car stopped sputtering after getting gas. I'd say well worth the 20 bucks to replace it
So auto zone is no good for a diagnostic check ,it might not be the purge control value, even if the error codes read PO496 help please
Auto zone is a scane
Scam
Did u figure it out ?
After I replace it how do reset the check engine light on my 2013 sonic lt
There are 3 easy ways to do this... 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable for 15 minutes 2. Use a code reader to delete the code 3. Wait for the car to do it itself
What if i ran its cycle for the 50 to 100 mile mark and check engine light is still on and i checked if the canister was bad like u said and it was because air went thru when i blowed in it
If you can suck or blow air through it at any point then it is bad and needs to be replaced. If you replace it I would then disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery for a few minutes to reset the check engine light.
Need help ! Mine would hesitate to start after refueling. I change the purge valve but now i have a code of P0496. It says its the purge vlave. But how, i just replaced it. Will the code go away. It wasnt their before I changed it. Now its their
Hi, did you delete your code? Also sometimes it takes a few days for the codes fall off. I suggest you save yourself some sanity just deleting the code. You can use a code reader for a local auto parts store free and you just got to erase it. If it comes back, it's means you have to find a different part usually
@@briethomass6359 thank you, its been about a month now and its fine.
@@briethomass6359 how do you do that? I went to get the code reader to see the problem. I got the part fixed it but the engine light is still on. It's giving me anxiety since I drive 100 miles a day...
i read this is fairly common on the sonic, i ordered one to have on hand.
Yes, it generally occurs if the gas tank is topped off from what I understand.
Appreciate the video. P0496 has pulled on my girl’s car, and I was going to attempt to replace this purge valve before paying someone to diagnose a more serious issue. Only concern is lack of working space and the delicacy/size of clips. Don’t want to lose or break one, but am confident I can. Any words of wisdom/advice on removing clips from the unit?
orh5y7 thanks for watching. My best advice for the clips is to just take your time and use a process of elimination if you are having an issue getting them off. By that I mean if it’s having an issue coming off and you know it’s the right way to take it off just start thinking about what could possibly be causing the issue before getting upset with it.
As an example from this video, when I was trying the disconnect the hose on the left side I couldn’t get it to release. I was getting frustrated with it until I took a step back and realized I might not be putting pressure on the clip in the correct area. That solved the problem👍🏽
Roscue2 thank you. I replaced the valve and managed to only break the tab off the locking mechanism on the computer control plug. Unfortunately check engine light never turned off...
orh5y7 hmmm, did you test the valve you replaced?? It’s possible the check engine light is still checking to make sure everything is fine, and will then update and turn it off.
Roscue2 that’s what I had been hoping, but it’s been a couple days and engine has run for a couple hours with no change. I did blow through both valves to test if there was a difference, but didn’t feel one...
orh5y7 well if there was no difference then the valve might not be your problem. Have you tried resetting the computer manually?
I can't seem to take the computer module off.. I don't know what to do
My issue too
I change it but still the cod
My remote start was not working right I kept getting a wierd code of B2Aaa there is no such code but today I got a glimpse of this code my valve has always mage a loud clicking sound while the car is running , I cleared the code if it comes up again I will pull this valve off and check it ...what I read is if the valve is no good not only will it throw a code the remote start will not work either .
Bamboozel96 I learned that the remote start won’t work if the check engine light is on
@@JoseSanchez-df8hb
No it won't ...also I think if your hood is open either I changed that purge valve in the parking lot at my work took me 10 min very easy to do light went out never came back .
It was the gas tank purge valve that went bad
Bamboozel96 thanks for your input my 2014 just started doing this today
I cant get the computer module part off. It's too hard
So I was able to remove nearly everything but the computer module cable. The little blue chip/lock on it, for some reason I removed it but the purge valve still won’t come off. Am I not pulling strong enough or ?? Any suggestions??
Javier Estrada hmmm, from what I remember when I removed the purge valve pushing down on the black clip once the blue piece of plastic is out worked. It is possible that your problem is where you are applying the pressure on the black clip. From my experience with working on cars, sometimes the issue is that you have to press in a very specific spot for it to work. My best advice is just to systematically apply pressure to the black clip until (hopefully) you find the right area. The worse case scenario is that when the part was originally installed it somehow got improperly stuck.
Thank you, I will be trying that out tomorrow.
I love you
Glad I could help
just changed it on my 2015 sonic unfortunately check engine still on
U have to reset the car
@@abe_tha_creeperboy931 it reset itself after 5 days
