I got back from vacation last night and my wife told me that while I was gone her CEL came on in the 01. I pulled the code and it is P0455 (Gross leak in EVAP system). She said she filled up w/ gas at approx. 12:30 p.m. on Friday. CEL came on at approx. 8 p.m. that night. She didn't drive it any more until I got back. I reset it this morning. My issue is that it's totally diff. from my 96 and my manual covers up to 2000. I searched and came up with other stories but non on 01's. I believe the canister is located under the vehicle in back. I hear no hissing, all hose connections look OK in the engine bay. I removed and inspected gas cap. It looks good. This vehicled did fail emissions right after we bought it b/c of a bad cap. Picked up a cheap one at AZ and it passed. I re-tightened the cap. I will look further under the vehicle for bad hoses. Then I guess I will play a waiting game and see if the light comes on again. If so...maybe try another cap? Any other suggestions? Also...for those with 2001's, where can I buy a manual that covers this? Is the dealer FSM my only/best option. I've read 2 ways to clear codes thus far: one says disconnect (-) cable and leave sit for 30 mins. (which worked on my 96) and the second says to disconnect (+) cable and touch it to the (-) terminal for a few seconds. Which is correct? Thanks all. Have a great Memorial Day.
