Quick Easy Fix P0449 P0455 Evap Codes on Chevy Silverado 2007 .... Well clearing the error codes at auto store will not prevent it come ...
Your best bet take it to a qualified repair shop . It takes special tool's to diagnose evaporative emission system's .
DTC P0411 : Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Incorrect Air Flow Detected
DTC P0449: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit
DTC P0455: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
P0455 stands for evap emissions detection leak and p0449 stands for evap emissions vent control circuit. You should go to a parts store and see if your able to purchase and install. Best of luck!
These are very common codes. Code P0499 is for the EVAP Canister Vent Control Solenoid circuit and Code P0455 indicates that there is a large leak in your EVAP system. Chances are VERY LIKELY that the leak is being caused by the vent control solenoid being stuck open. If this is the case, repairing what is wrong with the Vent Control Solenoid has a very good chance of fixing BOTH codes.
There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for your vehicle that applies to code P0455: TSB REFERENCE NUMBER 02-06-04-037I (NOTE: That last digit is an "I" not a "1")
The vent control solenoid fails due to water, dirt and debris entering the solenoid through the vent filter. This TSB involves replacing the vent control solenoid and installing a long section of heater hose to the vent filter and relocating it away from the underside of the vehicle. I usually use about 8 feet of hose and tie the filter unit to the brace under the hood next to the brake booster. It is not very hard to do. The hardest part is disconnecting the electrical connector from the original solenoid - it is not very easy to get your hands in there.
The kit is available from any parts store that carries AC Delco parts. The kit comes with everything you need except the heater hose and wire ties to secure it.
The part number for the kit is: 19152349
I have also had a couple of them where the wiring harness has rubbed against the underside pinch-weld area of the left rear of the cab, causing the code P0449 When you install the new service kit, be sure to inspect the wiring harness to the solenoid connector for damage here.
P0449 - Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Valve/Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
P0455 - Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (no purge flow or large leak)
Both are refer at EVAP system; other EVAP DTCs: P0440 - P0441 - P0442 - P0443 - P0446 - P0453 - P0455 - P0456
This indicates a fuel vapor leak or lack of purge flow in the EVAP control system. It means a large leak has been detected. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.
Symptoms: You likely won't notice any drivability problems. Causes: most likely means one or more of the following has happened: A loose or improperly affixed gas cap A non-conforming gas cap (i.e. not factory/original brand) Other leak or damaged piece in EVAP system
Possible Solutions: the most common repair is to: Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back. Otherwise, replace the gas cap, and/or Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses (you may hear a vacuum noise or smell fuel), repair if necessary
P0449 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit
P0455 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detected
Many times this is caused by the canister vent solenoid. You can definitely hook the smoke to it but quite often is just that particular solenoid malfunctioning.
There may be an emissions leak but a very common issue is the canister vent valve. Make sure if you contact your local dealership that you have your vehicles vin number available.
P0449 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit
P0455 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detected
these are emission system codes p0455 is large leak detected the pcm monitor gas tank pressures to determine if it has a vapor leak and it is detecting a vapor leak larger than .040 of an inch these generally are best diagnosed by a dealer.
The p0455 is for a leak concern and if that was the only code I'd say give the cap a shot. However the p0455 is most likely just a side effect of the P0449. The P0449 is a test that is run on the vent solenoid circuit to check the electrical functions in basic terms. The computer is putting out voltage amount X and in a properly functioning circuit it knows it will see voltage amount Y come back. It isn't coming back as what it expects to come back at so there must be something electrically wrong with the vent circuit. And of course if the vent doesn't work you get a large leak. If we are just throwing parts at trucks the logical one for you is a vent valve. Since your Vue is a 2008, most likely there is a good chance that it's covered under the emission warranty which is 5 years. Thank you for using fixya. and be safe.
The vent solenoid valve has been redesigned to correct the problem you are having. I would recommend purchasing the dealer component.
I am not aware of any aftermarket parts suppliers.
