Where is the EVAP canister vent control valve located?

How does the EVAP system work in a car?
Your car’s EVAP system is designed to control fuel vapors which are naturally omitted from standing gasoline inside the fuel tank. These vapors are collected into the charcoal canister and then condensed so they can be returned to the fuel tank.
When does an EVAP valve need to be replaced?
When there is no signal (no power) the valve should be closed (cant blow through it). When you apply a 12 volt power source and ground the valve should open with a discernible click. If the valve does no perform this way it is bad and needs to be replaced.
What does a check engine light mean on an EVAP system?
The car’s engine computer controls the valve and tests the system for leaks. When the valve detects a leak, it triggers the “check engine” light to alert the driver to an issue. If the “check engine” light comes on, it’s usually a sign that the EVAP system is in need of maintenance.

What happens if you have an EVAP malfunction?
An EVAP malfunction rarely affects vehicle performance (unless the purge valve is leaking) or driver comfort in any way. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore a problem with the EVAP system; on the contrary, an EVAP failure is almost guaranteed to prevent your car from passing a state emissions test.
