code 02 15 undefined??????

I was driving home today and the cel came on. I checked the codes and got 02 15. The decoder in the stickies says that it is undefined.
EDIT: It is the EVAP canister vent control valve
Please help.

OK, I figured out that code 02 15 is also code P1446. Another site lists this as "EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve (EVAP-VCV) ." Would somebody explain this to me?

i got the same thing and haven't done shiet with it yet. The evap canister is located in the rear driver side of your car. WD-40 it and pop it back in.


Thats what i was told, but i have yet to do so.

I reset the cel and it didn't come back on during a quick trip around the block. I bet it comes back tomorrow though. Anybody else had this code besides nismotic?
I read that sometimes if you don't put your gas cap back on tight you will get this code and I did get gas today. I checked though and it was on tight. All well. In just a couple of months having the max I have already had to put a knock sensor and an alternator on that beatch. So I have come to expect problems. When I saw the cel I was betting it was an O2 sensor but nope, something I have no idea how to fix of course.
Please post any suggestions you have.

Alternators and knock sensors are 4th gen weak points. Getting them replaced isn't a problem. But for your evap canister problem, follow what i said above.
