I've been lazy. Have had the ecu error code for a while for EVAP cannister problems. Wondering how to empty out the water that I've heard about that can accumulate in the EVAP cannister to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks.

The EVAP canister is located under the car near the left rear wheel. Disconnect the hoses. Remove the canister from the car. Hold it on end to drain any accumulated water. Reinstall everything.
While you are under there check all the EVAP system hoses for pinches, splits, damage of any kind.

However, I was unsure if there was a specific drain plug, or if you just turned it upside down from where the hoses come out of it after removing it and dumping it out that way. I'll try removing all the hoses and turning it upside down. Thanks.
