It's located under the vehicle back behind the fuel tank , Installed in the canister ! Remove the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve from the canister !
Rotate the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve counterclockwise in order to release it from the locked position.
Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle . Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister harness electrical connector (2) from the EVAP vent solenoid valve. Clean away any debris that may be present around the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
Remove the EVAP canister bolt. Lower the EVAP canister.

SOURCE: how to change air filter 2006 colbalt ss

Its a pain but under your car are about 6 8mm bolts that you have to take off to get the filter out also you will have to take your driver front tire off to get the last few bolts to gain access to the air box there are 3 screws on the box that comes off and you can pull out the filter and put new one in and do the reverse.

SOURCE: The check engine light on my Chevy Silverado cam

That is laymans terms. That is why it is in your manual. You ,need to get up to speed ,on todays somewhat high tech vehicles.
Now you need to go to a shop that does EVAP testing, with a smoke machine,if necessary,or at least put a scanner on it ,and replace the vent valve solenoid,if bad.(again laymans part teminology,

2006 Chevy Trailblazer LS. What fuse controls the EVAP Canister Vent Solenoid please?

there are like 1billion cars noW doing this.
  1. the gas cap was loose or bad !!!
  2. theN the driver did not know it takes 30 driving cycles to clear the CEL lamp. OOPS 30? OBD2 DOES THAT. PER SERVICE MANUAL RULES, IF YOU READ THEM.
  3. the fuse did not blow, or you'd have not asked where it is, I get that.!

99% of the time the cap was just loose or bad
my car the 1% time, the purge solenoid stuck
and my walmart silicon spray'd there (INSIDE IT) ended FAILURE for 50,000 more miles.
learn to buy AND USE a scan tool (borrow, rent ,buy)
tighten the cap again
scan the pCM see the cel lamp reasons./
push reset on the toll (CEL goes off if lucky and not 100 other DTC errors set)
and drive 3 times or more and the CEL stays off.


the other resets are(NO SCAN TOOL,. REALLY?)
1: PULL BATTERY LUG FOR 15MIN AND PUT BACK
OOPS RADIO GOES DEAD. dang
2: PULL ALL IOD FUSES. THE PCM MEMORY FUSE ONLY.
Ecm F29 IS IT(MEM) (PCM) 10AMPS
ALL DTCS NOW GONE, STORED. THE DATA FELL; INTO THE BIT BUCKET AS THEY SAY

IF ALL TESTS AND WILD GUESSING REPLACING ALL EVAP; VALVES. THEN COMES THE SMOKE MACHINE TESTS.
TO FIND THE LEAK
THIS IS AND EPA MANDATED MONITOR IN USA.
FOR SURE. THE 2 FUSES FOR BOTH EVAP VALVES ARE HERE.

Hello had the same problem in my 2006 Isuzu I-280 I needed to
replace at this moment the Evaporative Valve Soleniod which is instaled next to the Vapor Canister. It is mounted on the frame behind the gas tank you will have to move the spare tire out of the way one bolt holds it in place this is where the canister is and the valve is mounted on the canister this is where it is mounted on my 2006 I-280. If you need to replace the solenoid and you can't find the original Isuzu part, you can ask for the 2006 Chevy Impala V-6 3.5 Purge Valve Solenoid. It is the same piece. The old Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid has a number part PA-GF30, and it is the same part number I found in the new Chevy Impala Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid.

Where is the location of a vent valve solenoid on a 2006 chevy uplander minivan

There are two. One is the Canister Vent Solenoid located above the gas tank and it has to be dropped to change. The other is the Vent Purge Valve and it is located under the hood to the right on the intake manifold close to your brake fluid reservoir.

I failed my emission test and i got a P2422 code what exactly is that

Code is for EVAP solenoid ( probably jammed.) The solenoid has a vacuum pipe at one side , fed with constant vacuum from engine. When solenoid is energised by ECU, the vacuum then sucks any build up of gases from the fuel tank, via a charcoal filter and burns them through the engine. Other causes can be split or detached pipe, wiring for solenoid valve or valve itself.

I have 2006 GMC Sierra SLE 4WD 5.3 liter and my engine light comes on giving me the code PO449 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Valve/ Solenoid Circuit Malfuction. What could cause this code to...

There is a solenoid that open and closes with 12 volts, usually located close to the fuel filler tube area. This open to allow you to fill your tank, then closes after some inputs for the computer are satisfied, and then a pressure sensor verifies the system is working. First, make sure the cgas cap is tight, and if the light doesn't go away in a couple days of normal driving, get the solenoid checked.

2006 5.3ltr chevy silverado z71 p0455 andp0449

These codes are for the evaporative emission system.The 455 is the vent solenoid.The 455 is a large leak in the evap.system.The vent solenoid I would replace because they go bad and will not work because they are under the vehicle in the rear of the truck.There is a bulletin for these and the vent valve is installed in another spot.The number for the bulletin is 02-06-04-037E.You should also look for a broken or loose hose or pipe that might have came off.Specially if you ran over something.If none found it could just be the vent solenoid stuck in the venting position.Good luck.
