SES light code read

[jmag]

'97 Pathfinder - service engine soon light on. I went to autozone and they came up with

P1447 - elc system closure valve flow fault

Autozone said they have no idea and that's all they could help.
Any help? thanks

That's probably a good thing since they didn't have the code right. P1447 on your pathfinder is a EVAP PURGE FLOW/MON error. Under normal conditions (non-closed throttle), sensor output voltage indicates if pressure drop and purge flow are adequate. If not, a fault is determined.


Possible causes:

- EVAP canister purge volume control valve stuck closed
- EVAP canister purge control valve stuck closed
- EVAP control system pressure sensor
- Loose or disconnected rubber tube
- Blocked rubber tube
- EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve
- Blocked or bent rubber tube to MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve
- Cracked EVAP canister
- Absolute pressure sensor
- MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve

Thanks for the reply. Suggestions to narrow it down? Where is the evap canister?

[lewisnc100]

EVAP canister is behind the rear driver's side wheel.

does anyone know how much it costs to fix this code<

[lewisnc100]

There are a lot of possible EVAP components that can be causing this code, see the list above. It could be as easy as a disconnected hose or multiple EVAP components that need to be cleaned/replaced. You won't be able to get any kind of an estimate until the cause of the error is investigated.
