Thank you so much. This was the first time that I have ever worked on a car. You saved me so much money as I live in Hawaii. I paid $58.00 at O'reillys and could of bought cheaper online but I did not want to wait. The first thing that I will say is make sure that you check your gas cap because my seal eroded and it was also the cause of the issue for my 2016 Chevy Colorado. I definitely needed to use a flathead screwdriver to separate one of the connections. It is a very tight space. I also had to use a 10mm ratchet with 3 inch extension. Also, ensure that you disconnect the negative terminal for your battery to reset the computer. You do not have to disconnect the positive cable, which will rest your radio and other settings.

This was extremely helpful! Took me +-10 minutes to replace, went and filled up, started immediately without the previous hesitation! CEL has not come back after 20 miles.

Good video, made it easier than if I didn't know some of the tips given here. My issue wasn't a CEL. It was a rapid ticking from the engine that I thought might be engine knock. Fortunately, it was just this part starting to fail. Just the other day I had a rough idle issue and decided to fix it. So, if you have clicking, try replacing the purge valve first. It was easy, but watch this video for details on how to do it.

Thanks for uploading this video. Managed to fix the issue on a 2015 GMC Canyon.

Thank you for posting this. I just fixed my 2015 Canyon after throwing the P0496 OBD2 code.

Super helpful. Thanks for the screwdriver recommendation and the pressure comment. Both of those tips were great!

THANK YOU helped me out 1000% you show how to disconnect the hose and wire connections which others assume we already know👍

Just fixed my issue. Thanks for the upload.

Awesome thanks for the video doesn’t anyone else thinks this is pretty early for a 2015-16 to be replacing this

Thank you for this! You saved me hundreds!

Got an OEM purge valve off Amazon for $29. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for video!! Very helpful

This was very helpful thank you !

Thanks worked perfectly.

Badass!! Thanks man, saved me a bunch of $$

Best vid for this issue.

Great video, thanks for the help

Thanks for the video. Just installed and check engine light is off!!!

thanks you, I replace my valve .

This literally just happened to my 2016 Canyon. Wish I had seen this video sooner though. :( Oh well, at least now I know where that valve is so next time I can just replace it myself.

Same thing wrong with my 16 canyon it's a brand new truck still how are these braking

Thank you very much!

Thanks for posting. Does anyone know if this is the same canister for the P0449 code?

Good shit my friend

Thanks Jeep_King. this just happened to me

Can't you first take out the bolt to easily undue the hose clips?

Thanks, thats pretty simple. FYI, if a check engine lite is on the remote start won't work on a GM vehicle.

Thank you!

hey you have an email where I can talk to you about my canyon as well, I’m having my truck stall out when accelerating and I think it’s the canister purge valve too

I did the same thing went to auto zone when the engine light came on n they checked it n told me the problem

Did the bad valve cause a noticeable ticking sound in the engine?

Wow wish I would’ve watched this sooner mechanic charged me $200 to replace this

I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado & same exact thing happened to me

What was your symptoms?

This is a known issue, GM sent me a letter saying they will change mine or reimburse me if I had it already replaced.

was the truck having issue starting after fueling up ?

Just picked up the part. I have loud ticking from the purge valve, and stalling issues that have progressively gotten worse.

Perhaps you might consider changing the title of this video posting. Perhaps I am wrong, but the PURGE VALVE, is NOT the CANISTER purge valve. There is no such thing as a canister purge valve. The valve that is related to the CANISTER, is the VENT VALVE, not the PURGE VALVE. The canister contains the charcoal, in order to clean/filter the gasoline rich air, before it exits the vehicle, when the vent valve is in the open position.

This is a known issue on these trucks, GM will fix for free or reimburse you if you did it yourself.
