Car Engine Code P0496: Meaning, Causes, And How To Troubleshoot. In this video tutorial I will show you how to fix car engine code P0496.

But first,
What does code P0496 mean?
P0496 is an EVAP, or Evaporative Emission Control System, code. The EVAP system manages the fumes from your car's engine. Here's what this engine code means;
 EVAP flow during a non-purge condition. This means your car’s computer system detected a flow in the EVAP system when there shouldn’t be one.
 EVAP high purge flow. This means your vehicle’s computer detected a higher-than-normal flow in the EVAP system during a purge control process.
Both cases have similar causes and fixes. With that said,

What causes code P0496?
As mentioned, P0496 indicates an issue with the flow in the EVAP system. The major causes for this issue are:
 A loose or missing fuel cap.
 A faulty purge valve.

How can you fix code P0496?
Check the gas cap.
When you get a P0496 engine code, check the gas cap first. Here’s how:
 Open the fuel door to access the gas cap.
 Twist the gas cap counterclockwise to open it.
 Inspect the seal for damage before closing the fuel tank.
 If the seal is damaged, replace the gas cap.

Check the purge valve.
 Pop the hood and locate the purge valve. It’s usually near the engine or intake manifold. However, consult your owner’s manual if you cannot find it.
 Once located, remove the valve from the engine.
 Connect a handheld vacuum pump to the outlet port.
 Use the pump to create pressure and check the gauge. If the pressure reduces, there may be a leak.

Once you find a problem with the purge valve, replace it. To do this, align the replacement part and connect the wire harness and hoses.
Replacing the purge valve usually solves the P0496 code. However, if it doesn’t, bring your car to a mechanic who’ll diagnose and fix the problem
