1998 Nissan Altima GXE engine KA24DE (in Canada)
Hello all,
On my car a Solenoid Valve located approx. 10 inches from Evaporation Canister and near the Gas Tank was rusty and leaking. This valve has two parallel vacuum hoses side by side connected to it. It also has electrical connector which is removed by squizing (not lifting) the tab.
Steady light “service engine soon” was on the dash board. I purchased and replaced the solenoid valve Nissan part number 14933-54U00 ($ 156. Canadian including taxes).
Then to get rid of steady light” service engine soon” I followed the insructions provided. Thanks
On my car when I removed only one plastic cover (just to the right of gas pedal) the computer screw covered with see-tru sticker was right there exposed.
I did the following and worked great:
1. Turned ignition key to ON (not far to start engine)
2. Turned the screw on computer with small screwdriver CW
to stopand left it there for approx. 10 seconds (be gentle
do not force).
3. Turned screw CCW to stop and left it there for approx. 10
seconds and light was blinking.
4. Turned screw again CW to stop for approx. 10 seconds.
5. Turned screw CCW to stop again and left it there.
6. Removed the key and few seconds later started the engine.
For a few minutes the light was blinking but then all was stabilized and light was gone.
I hope this helps to someone else.
