I have a 98 Sentra GXE and it failed the emissions test because of this code.
I know there have been many threads regarding this code. Mostly answered by Nostrodomas. However, I am not familiar with lot of this stuff and therefore I need help in identifying the parts. One is "EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve", and the other is "EVAP canister purge control valve". The mechanic at a repair shop said he would replace the parts but can't gurantee that it will clear the check engine light. I would like to know if there is an easy solution to clearing this code. Also, how can a hard code be cleared from the ECU? Can AutoZone do this for me? Last time I tried to get the guy reset it for me said only dealer can clear the hard codes???
If you can upload a pics that would be REALLY helpful. You can use www.tinypic.com to upload a picture if you can't host it. It's free and easy.
Thanks again.
Edit: In the FSM, is this code same as DTC P1400? Does the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps apply as mentioned in the FSM? I guess in the 98 and above, there is also another purge control valve in the rear, can anyone post a picture of this? Much appreciated.
