Help with Evap Canister Vent Valve

I'm pulling codes for the evap control system and the evap canister control valve. Can someone help me determine what these are and how to fix this? Thanks in advance,

The Evap vent valve is located behind the left rear wheel. Disconnect it, remove it from the car and clean it up with WD-40 or just replace it. That usually solves Evap problems. That valve is in a nasty location and is subject to contamination making it fail or just get stuck.
