Help w/ SMALL EVAP LEAK
2002 Solara SE 4 cyl, Auto - 175,000 miles
This problem has been vexing me for a while , and I can't seem to get it fixed. Took it to a shop and they changed the VSV next to the Charcoal Canister.
Came back on shortly after. I need to get the car inspected by end of the year, and I'm faced with having to take it in to Toyota tomorrow if I can't sort this out.
Light goes off after I fill the tank (but code is still stored in system - emissions not ready to be tested). Comes back on when it dips a bit. Perhaps if I just keep filling her up, the code will clear and It can be in inspection ready status???
Right now MIL light is off, but I hooked up Scanmaster-ELM, and I'm getting the following codes:
Stored: P0456-Evap Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak)
Pending: P0456-Evap Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak), P0489-Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Control Circuit Low, P0494 - Fan Speed Low
System Status: The vehicle is not ready for emissions testing.
I'm not sure if the other pendings make it past the pending stage.
Freeze Frame Data:
Fuel System 1 - Closed Loop
Calculated Load Value: 47%
Engine Coolant: 83C
Short Term Fuel Trim - Bank 1: 2.3%
Long Term Fuel Trim - Bank 1: 6.3%
Engine RPM: 2122
Vehicle Speed: 27/kmh
Intake Air Temp: 23C
Any ideas?? Thanks!
