EVAP CANISTER HOSE VENT ELBOW
This bulletin provides information relating to the replacement of the EVAP Canister Hose Vent Elbow and the Fuel Tank (Air) Filter in some 2004 &
2005MY Spectra (2.0L) vehicles built before 3/8/05. The original elbow may allow water intrusion into the Canister Close Valve (CCV) filter/fuel tank
air filter. This may cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to illuminate with a DTC of P0449 (EVAP Emission Control System Vent
Valve/Solenoid Circuit). To prevent water intrusion into the fuel tank air filter, follow the procedures in this Technical Service Bulletin to replace the
original canister vent elbow with the updated canister vent elbow.
