    Sometimes a purge canister code can be caused by a loose line. sometimes it is a loose or defective gas cap. It can also be a vacuum valve, and unfortunately, it can also be caused by a cracked canister that no longer vacuum seals. Did this start right after a fill-up? That usually indicates a cap issue. I don't know exactly how the system is structured on your vehicle, so what you might do is research the problem on youtube if no one has more specific information, and see if there is a common failure point. I would start by resetting the cap and clearing the code.

    Pretty sure that's the one I fixed when I was 18 with some silicone caulk on the charcoal canister, still running 10 years later. Get a fog test
