Good video that gave me the courage to try this on my Savvana. I too was able to get everything off but there was no way mine was going back on. I tried for over an hour but there was not enough clearance no matter how hard I pushed. If GM had moved the bracket by 1 inch its an easy job. I ended up taking apart the housing from the old valve and used a hacksaw to leave just the stem and clip that originally cliped to the bracket. I drilled two holes through the body of the old stem that has the two pipe holes and zip tied the new vent valve on through those holes. Solid, way easier to change next time and cleared my Pems and cleared my P0449 code.
Great video. I can only put in like $8 before gas spills out. The gas station pump nozzle not clicking. But I don't know why my gas tank is refusing to accept more fuel? I've checked all hoses and charcoal canister. Everything is intact. My gas gauge is always showing full. Can a bad gas pump and sending unit be the culprit?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Question. can I turn the Vent canister on and off without a scan tool? what are the settings for the multimeter to check the voltage on the wire harness itself? what did you set the multimeter to when you tested the old canister in the car on the seat? I have a 2007 Tahoe 5.3 and I'm trying to diagnose the same code thanks
You need a scanner to command the valve on. If you don’t have access to one then you can try this. Unplug the valve, switch your meter to ohms (Omega symbol). Probe the two pins on the valve itself. If the coil winding is open or high resistance the valve is bad. I would say anything over 40 ohms is probably too much. You won’t be able to check for power at the harness without a scanner. Also all data said something about checking the wiring above the front driveshaft near the transfer case. I guess there is a common rub spot. Hope that helps.

@@joeburttschell1286 Haven’t used it a ton yet to be honest. I saw it on Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics and he had great things to say about it. All I can say is it’s done everything I’ve needed it to so far except an oil life reset on a 2012 Land Rover LR4

Thanks for sharing your expertise. You just helped me repair one of our vans.

Assuming its a similar vehicle, the vent valve is most likely the issue.

I have a 06 Chevy Express 2500, can you guide me where the gasoline filter is, thank you very much
It may not have a serviceable fuel filter but if it does it will be along the left hand side frame rail.
I have an o5 and looked hard but was eventually told by youtube it is in the tank.
