  • The FIXD wireless OBD2 scanner and free app for iPhone and Android translates your check engine light into plain English so you can rest easy. In this video, we explain what OBD2 code P0455 means and possible causes.
    P0455 means a large leak in your evaporative system. The evaporative emission control (EVAP) system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. The fuel vapors from the fuel tank are absorbed and stored by charcoal pellets in the charcoal canister. The vent control valve is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and allows air to flow into the charcoal canister to purge the gas vapors into the engine air intake to be burned. The flow of the gas vapors from the charcoal canister to the engine air intake is controlled by a purge valve. The vent control valve is normally opened when the engine is on, and the purge volume control valve is normally closed and is controlled by the ECM to open when it is ready to purge the stored fuel vapors from the charcoal canister.
    However, the ECM occasionally performs leak tests to ensure the evaporative emission control system is working properly when the vehicle is turned off. During the leak test, the ECM closes the vent control valve to create a sealed EVAP system. If the EVAP system does not maintain the pressure, the ECM recognizes an evaporative emission control leak. In the case of P0455, it is a very large leak. This is usually indicative of a loose, broken, or missing gas cap.

  • @scottmcgehee2933
    @scottmcgehee2933 4 года назад +10

    PO455 code is usually not a gas cap although it can be. Mine in a 05 ford expedition is a evap sensor above the gas tank requiring the tank to be dropped. The sensor and wire cost $850 plus labor to drop tank, not such a simple fix. A smoke test will find the culprit or maybe not. Old cars are notorious for evap codes and they can be a bitch to find and fix

    Hi I have a question. I'm having a evap large leak p0455 on my 2007 Hyundai sonata 3.3L v6. I bought a new gas cap and code was still there so I paid for smoke test. They said canister vent valve was faulty and leaking. So I've replaced that and code came back 2 days later. I would think its maybe a line but they said they didn't see any bad hoses and it was only leaking from the vent valve. Any ideas or suggestions?

    • @EvilTwin123
      @EvilTwin123 3 года назад

      Yes, misfire
      The idea is that the computer is assuming the system is sealed and acting properly.
      When it opens the Purge valve it's assuming a set amount of fuel vapors will be released into the engine.
      If those fuel vapors are not there, the engine misfires under that assumption the fuel mixture was proper.
      Assumption was my WORD A DAY CALENDAR word for this morning.
