Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Dorman 911-503 Evaporative Emissions Canister Vent Valve: Optimal Solution for Efficient Ventilation by Kevin Swier

The lights are off. fits canister flush valves

My check engine light is off! For me I had code p1446, if you have another code this gadget can still fix it for you. As I understand it, there are several codes that can be triggered when this guy is confused. My wife's check engine light came on on her 2004 Nissan Sentra, we pulled the code and researched. There isn't much information on how to replace this guy, so I'll tell you what I did here. To my knowledge the EVAP system is the same/similar on other Nissan sedans. I am not responsible for your results and you must know how to operate the vehicle safely if you wish to do so. I'm not a car pro. Just someone like you who doesn't want to pay the dealer $400 to have it fixed. The vaporizer box for me was the black box on the back of the driver's side of the car. After jacking up the car, I was able to reach it lying down and behind the rear driver's wheel. There is a dirt cover and a bolt holding the box in place. Most people drop the box, but my bolt was frozen, so I left the box in place, removed the fender, and worked behind the wheel. Just remove the hose and wiring harness. The harness has a latch and will not twitch easily without being unfastened. You probably know this guy has something to do with your fuel. I didn't notice any fumes or gases to worry about. To remove the canister, simply twist it counter-clockwise. It's quite inconsistent to come in the right position. Mine had to be rotated at 1/8 (10-11 o'clock position). When I came back I had to put it in the same position it was removed. There were two marks on the "black box" that showed me the correct location to reset. If you don't have labels, everything is fine. The idea is to put everything back as you found it.

Pros
  • Quality construction - made from quality materials for long life
Cons
  • Almost never
