Check Engine light fix but I am so lost...**jackpot code**

Hopefully this will help someone.

I had one code **the jackpot code** when I pulled it myself & when autozone pulled it... 0111 was the code....
I couldn't figure out what it was since there's so many things that it could point to...i knew it was something with the EVAP system.

I take it to the dealership and they fixed it... on the invoice they listed the codes...

1) P0440 - - - (0705 if you pull the codes yourself.)
2) P1448 - - - (0309 if you pull it yourself.)

So why the heck did I & autozone pull code 0111 ???

The first code P0440 / 0705 points to EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM in the FAQ but there is no further explanation.
The second code 0309 is "undefined" in the FAQ . . .

BTW: the two parts that fixed it.

PURGE CONTROL VALVE (part#: 14935-54U04) & EVAPORATION CONTROL CANISTER (part#: 14950-56U18)

Why would I pull 0111 & the dealer pulled something else...

Those are my 2 codes, and the parts that I need to fix it, according to another source. Thanks for backing it up, though!

0111
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0111 is detected when ...
- EVAP control system does not operate properly.
- EVAP control system has a leak in the line between intake manifold and EVAP control system pressure sensor.

Possible causes include ...
- EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve stuck closed.
- EVAP control system pressure sensor and its circuit.
- Loose, disconnected, or improper connection of rubber tube.
- Blocked rubber tube.
- Blocked or bent rubber tube to MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve.
- Cracked EVAP canister.
- EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve.
- Closed Throttle Position Switch.
- Improper connection of one-way valve.
- Blocked purge port.
- EVAP canister vent control valve.


This is a "jackpot" code. It points to so many possible causes as to be almost useless. It may be accompanied by another DTC which is more specific.

it says that it may be accompanied by another code but in my case it wasn't....

i'm just trying to see if we can note something in the FAQ to make this at least a little clearer...(the part that the dealer might get a totally different code without us seeing it)

Well, while it was only the 0111 initially, it may have served as a fault-indicator to the other 2 codes, but it IS odd that they did not show on the autozone tester. I have the exact same codes...

yeah i doubt the autozones diagnostics get into as much detail as the nissan computers. They just give you a general area of problems but the nissan code comp tells you exactly what to fix. Those computers kick *** me and my friend who works at the nissan dealership plug it up and fix **** in a gippy

No, it is a real OBD-II scanner.
