I know its a major evap leak, is it an easy fix? how much does the dealer charge, any help and info is appreciated thanks.

 

I had that same code too. All I did was check the gas cap and reset the code. No more code. Also you may want to check the evap canister and hoses.

 

I checked the gas cap made sure it was tight reset the code but it keeps coming on, so im looking toward having the evap canister replaced i was wondereing how much parts and labor cost.

 

Go with the cheapest route first. Check the hoses and make sure none are cracked or loose. I remember seeing a post with a price of the canister. I'll see if I can find it.

 

I just got off the phone with Nissan and they said the part is $215. The labor shouldn't be bad if you did it yourself. A few bolts and hose clamps and done. Hope this helps. If you know someone at a dealership the part may be a little less.

 

Thanx a bunch

 

Here ya go.

 

Got the same code today.Made sure the gas cap was tight and reset the light.Hopefully it wont come back on.

Light didnt come back on monday when I started the car.Dont know WTF is up.Didnt mess wih it at all.

 

When I had the P0455 code I reset the light a few times and each time it took about 5 to 7 days before the CEL came back. But it did keep coming back on.

 

replace your EVAP CANISTER and the VENT CONTROL VALVE, i did mine and it's gone.

cost me 300 something Canadian dollars with own labour

 

Did you physically take off the gas cap and then put it back on? When I got a P0455 code, I just made sure the cap was tight and the code quickly came back on. Next time I got gas, I had to remove the cap. Put it back on, gave it a couple extra turns and viola, no more light...and that was back in May.

If you did remove and re-install the cap, I'd get a new gas cap and also check the vacuum lines before replacing the EVAP canister.

 

If the code comes back again replace the fuel cap with a new factory or Stant Oem type cap, if the code comes back then you know what you need to do! Replace the charcoal canister and vent control valve...By the way...when you fill up, do you usually top off the tank after it auto stops? I was told that is the reason for the charcoal canister failure by a fellow tech!

 

I got gas that weekend.Light hasnt come back on.The gas cap was replaced about a year ago.Got it at the dealer.

If it does come back on Ill check everything first.I dont like throwing money away.
