Q: How to Inspect or Replace the EVAP Canister and Canister Purge Valve?
A: The EVAP system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Symptoms of a faulty system include a strong fuel odor. The EVAP canister, NVLD assembly, and purge solenoid are located in the right rear corner of the vehicle and engine compartment, respectively. To inspect or replace the components, the vehicle needs to be raised and the right rear wheel and wheel well splash shield need to be removed. The NVLD filter, NVLD pump, and EVAP canister can be detached from their mounting brackets. The EVAP line can be disconnected from the canister.
