Detailed Description

The Dorman 911-480 vapor canister is engineered to match the original equipment evaporative emissions canister used on select 1997-2001 INFINITI Q45 and QX4 models, plus 1998-2001 Nissan Pathfinder, 1998-2000 Frontier, 2000 Xterra, 1998 240SX, and 1998 Pickup applications. Its charcoal filter element helps capture fuel vapors within the evaporative system, supporting proper emissions control and vapor management. This part cross-references Standard Ignition CP3090 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Evaporative emissions system fault codes related to vapor storage
• Fuel vapor odor caused by a failing canister
• Cracked or deteriorated OE canister housing
• Improper purge or vent performance in the evap system
• Inspection failures tied to emissions control issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify port sizes, connector style, and mounting location before installation. This vapor canister uses a straight female connector with two male blade terminals and three ports, so matching the vehicle’s original routing is important. Confirm fitment for your exact year and model before replacing the existing canister on a Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, Xterra, 240SX, Pickup, or INFINITI Q45/QX4.
