What It Helps Resolve

• Check engine light caused by a malfunctioning vapor canister vent solenoid
• EVAP vent shut valve faults during emissions diagnostics
• Improper vapor canister venting in Nissan and Infiniti EVAP systems
• Failed vent control on vehicles with California emissions or specific build-date requirements
• Driveability and inspection issues related to evaporative emissions faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, vacuum port size, and vehicle-specific fitment before installation. This part uses a 2 blade connector and a 1/2 in vacuum connector diameter, so matching the original layout is important for proper EVAP system sealing and electrical connection. Confirm the exact year, make, model, and emissions configuration for Nissan Quest, Nissan Sentra, and Infiniti applications before replacement.
