Hey guys yesterday my CEL came on and the code was P1448. My truck runs fine and sounds ok. What does the code mean? Gas cap, fuel lines, purge valve & canister which I can't find anywere. Is this something I can drive with or does it need to be fixed immediately?

 

The P1448 fault indicates a leak in the evaps system. Check all of the vacum lines that go to and from the purge canister and valve. look for cracks and the like.

 

Where is the canister and valve?

 

Generally, they are located on the pax side against the inner wheel well. Download the RAVE so you have access to the info you need, such as component location and troubleshooting tips.

 

It looks like a black coffee can with two hoses attached to the top sitting on the passenger wheel well inside under the hood.

X2 on downloading and using the RAVE.

 

The code, more specifically is the evap purge valve flow 2 fault.

 

Ok I downloaded the RAVE. So much information. I could read it over and over again. Now I checked my lines they look fine no cracks and everything hooked up nice and tight. Is there a certain way to clean the purge valve, my CEL is still on? The RAVE tells me how to take it off, but I couldn't find how to service it.
