Got this code. EVAP emission control system leak (very small). What do I need to check & fix ?

 

Gas cap not on tight?

Here's the FSM list of possible causes....


Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

Incorrect fuel filler cap used

Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close.

Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap.

Leak is in line between intake manifold and EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve.

Foreign matter caught in EVAP canister vent control valve.

EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks

EVAP purge line (pipe and rubber tube) leaks

EVAP purge line rubber tube bent

Loose or disconnected rubber tube

EVAP canister vent control valve and the circuit

EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve and the circuit

Fuel tank temperature sensor

O-ring of EVAP canister vent control valve is missing or damaged

EVAP canister is saturated with water

EVAP control system pressure sensor

Refueling EVAP vapor cut valve

ORVR system leaks

Fuel level sensor and the circuit

Foreign matter caught in EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve

 

Hi,

I just got this code pulled on my 06.

I have been getting a strong fuel smell in the cabin, when I fill the gas up to a full tank.

I have been noticing a rattling noise (loose/hollow metal noise) when I go over fine bumps in the road coming from right behind the passenger side, near where I believe the fuel pump/evap canister is.

Anyone else experienced this? I keep seeing people saying to replace the Evap canister O-Ring, but mention nothing of something in that area rattling around.

Gas cap is on TIGHT lol

 

Open the glove box, take everything out, then remove the hidden compartment cover on the bottom, gently pry out the bottom tray (use a small screwdriver to loosen the tabs on left and right tabs closest to you and then lift the tray out). Check for fuel leaks. There's another fuel level sender on the driver's side that's easier to get to, so you can check that as well.

p.s., Don't use a match to help you see what you're doing.

 

Hey man thanks for the response I really appreicate it.


I found the culprit when it comes to that rattle. It turns out, it is not the fuel pump assembly as I had once thought. That rattle noise is coming from the front dash right in front of the passenger, inside the plastic there towards the bottom. I slapped around in that area and I'm able to mimic the rattle I get while I hit bumps. Something has come loose in there... that's an entirely different matter now.


So the fuel pump assembly is fine (thank goodness). I will still try and pry it open like you suggested and try to find signs of leaks. I can access the O-Ring after prying that area open, correct? And I'm assuming the driver's side fuel sender is located behind me where that sub enclosure gap is? (that's where I store my amplifiers)
