Detailed Description

This vapor canister vent solenoid is used in evaporative emissions systems to control venting from the charcoal canister. When the original solenoid sticks, leaks, or stops responding, the vehicle may set an emissions-related fault and illuminate the engine light. The Dorman 911-140 is built for specific applications across Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Saturn, and Saab models, including fitments such as 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu, 2020-2025 Cadillac CT4, and 2024-2025 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. It also serves older platforms like 2005-2011 Chevrolet Equinox and 2002-2010 Saturn Vue, with notes on some vehicles requiring an upgraded wire harness and connector.
