Your last words on this video save my life cuz I changed the whole thing and the light was still on, now I just have to reset it 😎🤙

Thank you. I replaced my purge valve which did not solve my P0455 problem. Replaced the vent solenoid and canister, the P0455 went away but a P0449 came in. I fiddled with the electrical connection and a few days later after doing nothing else the code/engine light cleared itself. Sometimes waiting has an effect. It might re-learn something or the connector jogged into place while driving. I bought the vent canister with an adaptor for the electrical connection and a new hose and a new metal mount. All good investments. The hose going to the gas tank just pulls out with some assistance with a screw driver. The old vent canister had 5 places where it was in-leaking (same locations as you showed), and the valve was failed open anyway (particulate jammed it). A gasoline smell went away after replacing it and the vehicle accelerated more quickly almost immediately. If you replace a part, and its not the part needing replaced, just leave it because you are ahead of the component failure curve. Waiting a few days might fix your code for the non-serious ones like this.

You’re a lifesaver!!!!!! I just bought an 08 Chevy Impala and was so worried it would be an insane part to replace, you just proved it won’t be that difficult. THANK YOU!!

Terrific video. I love it when the complete process, including testing, is shown start to finish and this video does exactly that. Nice job!!

👍🏼 I like your tutorial, thanks. and thanks for the links for the tools used 🤩

Awesome video! Love the humor along the way, thanks.

Great job I really liked that you stated you cut the tube to make it easier. The bolt is a 6 mm bolt that has a 10 mm head. But very nice video.

excellent,efficient diagnostic process! And I like how you stressed testing the circuit with a load, I do the same with my apprentices.

As an electronic/electrical engineer, I couldn't agree more! Most people don't realize the difference between current and voltage. See Ohm's law. If that wire is chuffed or cut, and there's just enough connection to keep the circuit, you are still going to have applied voltage (electromotive force), but as soon as the resistance increases--for example, a load--thats going to create a too much current for that small amount of wire guage to handle. Obviously, this is a very simplistic explanation.

I have been watching your vids. And learning a lot. Thank u!!

I'm changing mine now and this is great,don't have a tester but I'm hoping this will fix.my problem, ty

Awesome video, can't get any easier to diagnose and check for power and ground . Thanks. P.s. hello from Connecticut

Awesome video

I really appreciate that your words are directly related to the purpose of the video. So many guys have way too much irrelevant chatter. I have an 08 Impala with that code. I learned something but I think I got some dirt in my eyes. Just joking. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Could you have just supplied a jump from body(negative) to the device with a needle clip to back of plugged in electrical connector and see if it clicks also?

I'm going to invest in a scanner 👍🏾 .

My 08 impala has been a great car for the most part. I have owned mine for years and havent had any major.issues...however, I just hit 200k miles and things are seeming to go wrong, one after another. Including this exact issue. Not to mention the ubiquitous known "power door lock" issue. Its.funny, my check engine light is intermittent, but everyime i get fuel, the pump constantly shuts off. This will hopefully be the solution. Thanks!

I’ve found if you “top off the fuel” it’ll turn this code every time. I’m not suggesting it’s your exact reason but it’s every time you fuel I’d pay attention to it

Appreciate the video. I have a rusty bolt too and need to get a bolt extractor kit. Why not replace the rusty bolt once off?

would like to know what scan tool u use, it looked like the think tool, looking for a budget bidirectional scanner

I wanted to ask if the engine harness was shortened and someone messed with up does it caused malfunctioning to the vent canister working ?

I’m reading 0v on my connector, there was a flood in my area a while back and I’m thinking a fuse got blown. Do you know which fuse this is related to

You can check cannister by jumping ground to back of attached connector to hear it click>>>>

i got two P0449 codes 1)EVAP system vent valve control circuit/open 2)evaporative emission(evap) vent solenoid valve control does this mean its just the circuit or both? Can it also be the gas cap or would the reader would have said that? if you can give me your thoughts on this i would greatly appreciate it THANKYOU NEW SUBSCRIBER

very good video and well explained,what about the scanner what brand is it,Thank

The scanner is a Launch X431pro. It's linked in the video description I believe..

I felt like the rust was falling on me

This would be the same with the 08 ss correct ??

How much was the part?

I replaced the solenoid valve, and the engine is still on, and I drive it for two days and still engine light.

Aww that stinks! Find a junkyard nearby and go snag the connector and wire off a junkyard car. Make sure to cut the wire long enough to reattach onto what’s left of yours.

What is Code p0446?

will the engine light go right off or will it go off later

@Tomsfoolery.

If you don’t have a code reader or scan tool to clear it, it will take a couple drive cycles. Once the ECM doesn’t detect the issue on two drive cycles, it will turn the light off.

so we changed this is what my grandpa sent me “ we put a computer in the car today at work was able to shut the check engine light off we turn the car off I started it with the remote it ran for 20 seconds and then shut off and the check engine light came back on so we did the computer thing again and it said done but the check engine light is still on I’m hoping it will reset itself” does this just mean it needs to be driven a little for it to go off?

Dude sounds like Will Farrell
