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.
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.
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.
@littlechihahua the purge valves are known to possibly have issues. I have a 15 Canyon & GM Canada sent me a letter saying they will replace it free of charge or reimburse me if I already had it done.
It’s a GM product they wouldn’t stand behind their warranty on oil consumption when I had my 2012 Terrain! But they just look so dam good I bought another one! I am a glutton for punishment!😂
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.
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
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.
My 2015 Colorado just started doing this as well. CEL comes on and about a 5 second hesitation to start after refueling. Ordered a new purge valve online for $15, will use this video to help replace it. Thanks
Hi, how did you contact GM? I went to the GMC web page. I logged into my.gmc.com. It lists the diagnostic, but there is no information on any known issues. My GMC dealer said it is likely (90% sure) the purge valve. They did not offer to repair ir for free though.
Just picked up the part. I have loud ticking from the purge valve, and stalling issues that have progressively gotten worse.

Dave Marshall you don’t really have to remove it to replace this part I was able to do it really quick without any issues, but if you feel like it would be easier then go ahead if you have the time. Hope this helps.

bbracey1220 I’m glad it helped..

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

Did you hear the ticking when under a load and acceleration
Awesome thanks for the video doesn’t anyone else thinks this is pretty early for a 2015-16 to be replacing this
littlechihahua I definitely agree, I’m not too happy with the performance of my truck, I will be changing it soon hopefully..

Got an OEM purge valve off Amazon for $29. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for posting this. I just fixed my 2015 Canyon after throwing the P0496 OBD2 code.
Thanks for uploading this video. Managed to fix the issue on a 2015 GMC Canyon.
Super helpful. Thanks for the screwdriver recommendation and the pressure comment. Both of those tips were great!
Just fixed my issue. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for this! You saved me hundreds!
Best vid for this issue.
This was very helpful thank you !

Badass!! Thanks man, saved me a bunch of $$
Thank you for video!! Very helpful

Thank you! It saved me $250
Thanks for the video. Just installed and check engine light is off!!!
Same thing wrong with my 16 canyon it's a brand new truck still how are these braking
Thanks, thats pretty simple. FYI, if a check engine lite is on the remote start won't work on a GM vehicle.
Wow wish I would’ve watched this sooner mechanic charged me $200 to replace this
thanks you, I replace my valve .
Can't you first take out the bolt to easily undue the hose clips?
Thank you!
Thanks worked perfectly.
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
Great video, thanks for the help
Good shit my friend
was the truck having issue starting after fueling up ?
Joe Wildbur not that I can remember..
My 16 Colorado would chug for a few seconds after refueling.
Thanks for posting. Does anyone know if this is the same canister for the P0449 code?
Thank you very much!

@@fastidiouspa You are welcome my friend!
I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado & same exact thing happened to me
Same thing happened to my 2016 Trail Boss. Total bummer. But at least it's just a $50 fix
@@huntin4relics
My dealership fixed it for free
My 2015 Colorado just started doing this as well. CEL comes on and about a 5 second hesitation to start after refueling. Ordered a new purge valve online for $15, will use this video to help replace it. Thanks
Did the bad valve cause a noticeable ticking sound in the engine?
Yes, it can.
What was your symptoms?
I think all I had at the moment was the check engine light on.. if I remember correctly it didn’t have any symptoms
I did the same thing went to auto zone when the engine light came on n they checked it n told me the problem
Thanks Jeep_King. this just happened to me
This is a known issue, GM sent me a letter saying they will change mine or reimburse me if I had it already replaced.

Won't let my upload photo
This is a known issue on these trucks, GM will fix for free or reimburse you if you did it yourself.
