hfb Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 2009 SE V6. There is what looks like a good sized electronic box of some kind mounted under the car, and below the spare tire. Can anyone tell me what it is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're electronically controlled and in a black box type mount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Yes it does have hoses as well as an electrical connection. Am I right in thinking it turns gasoline vapor back to liquid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a storage system for the vapor. The ECU controls the purge solenoid and opens it so the vapor can be drawn into the engine. That's why you don't want to overfill your tank. You can get liquid gas into the canister assy and mess things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
