how to fix a P0455 code in my Toyota Camry

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts before starting the repair.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during the repair.

2. Inspect and Replace Gas Cap

• Remove the gas cap and examine the rubber seal for wear or damage.
• If damaged, replace the gas cap with a new, OEM-spec cap.
• Reinstall the gas cap, ensuring it clicks into place securely.

3. Inspect EVAP Hoses

• Visually inspect all EVAP hoses connected to the charcoal canister, fuel tank, and purge valve.
• If any hoses are cracked or damaged, remove the affected hoses and replace them with new ones.
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

4. Conduct a Smoke Test

• Connect a smoke machine to the EVAP system through the service port.
• Observe for smoke escaping from any cracks or loose connections.
• If leaks are found, replace the faulty components (hoses, canister, or valves) as necessary.

5. Test and Replace EVAP Components

• Test the EVAP purge valve and vent valve using a multimeter. If they are not functioning correctly, replace them with new parts.
• For the charcoal canister, inspect for blockages. If the canister is damaged, replace it.
