Hi. Ive had my first CEL in 5 years and 135k miles yesterday. I got the code out and it beeped 2 long ones and 15 short ones. Looked it up on the code finder but 0215 is 'undefined'. I cleared the ECU but it keeps coming back on in about 30 minutes.. anyone have any idea what could be wrong? did you ever get 0215 too ?

btw, i'm gonna take it to Autozone and let them read my ecu with their scanner. Nisan dealers want $80 bucks for this.

 

Look it up in the Haynes Manual, it should be there

 

0215: EVAP Canister vent control valve closed

What that means? I dono!! But now you have a lead.

ohhhhhh.... Haynes has a code for 0215? Thanks for looking it up for me!!

Now I need to figure out how I"m gonna fix this...

 

No problem.

 

Check
-EVAP canister vent control valve
-EVAP control system pressure sensor and the circuit
-Blocked rubber tube to EVAP canister vent control valve
-Water seperator
-EVAP canister is saturated in water


1) Check Rubber tube for clogging. Check obstructed water seperator and rubber tube to EVAP canister vent control valve and clean the rubber tube using air blower... IF NG --> Clean, repair, or replace rubber tube and/or water seperator

2) Check EVAP canister vent control valve and O-Ring... IF NG---> Replace EVAP canister vent control valve and O-Ring

3) Evap Control pressure sensor - a) Check for disconnection of hose connected to the sensor. b) Check sensor harness connector for water. Water should NOT exist. if ok, 3) Check EVAP control system pressure sensor.... IF NG --> Repair or replace harness and/or connections or replace EVAP control system pressure sensor

 

thanks for the info! this is a life saver..
ok I know that the EVAP is around the rear driver side fender... now how do I access it? Jack it up and take the wheel off ? What is the exact location? AS you can see I'm a total EVAP noob!

 

I believe its right behind the rear driver side tire. No need to jack up. You can probably lay on the floor to get to it.

 

It's to the left of the spare wheel when your behind the car....box with some hoses come out of it...if you really need, I'll take some pictures
