Hello ALL:

I drive a 1998 200SX SE-r, with 48k miles. Last week, I received the service engine soon light, so I extracted the code and the code is: 0215 EVAP canister vent control valve closed . I had to do some intense searches to find this trouble code description. This code, 0215, is not listed in the Haynes manual for my car and is not on any lists that I searched online. It turns out that this code is specific for California emissions Nissan vehicles! Figures, since I purchased my car in California.

Anyways, does anyone know if there is something I can do to resolve this trouble code without buying any parts? When I fill up at a gas station, the pump keeps stopping after 5 seconds. It is caused by the trouble code, I'm sure.

I did a search here and on SR20DEforum.com and didn't see any good information related to this issue.

BTW, here is the MIL Trouble Code list that I found that lists a few more codes (including California) than the Haynes manual. It matches up to the Haynes manual PLUS the addition of Cali codes for my 1998 200SX SE-R:
