Please let me know if you need further assistance. From what I have read from these sites it is a valve or a sensor.

Ouch. thats a tough one. Your fault code is for a small EVAP leak which is notoriously very hard to find. I would follow the most likely causes from the CarMD report. They are generally very accurate and based on input from technicians like myself. Remove your gas cap and inspect the seal around the cap. A leak as small as 0.02 inches will trigger the code you are getting. Literally some dust or debris could cause this. I would inspect the seal for cuts/tears and clean it. Replace the gas cap is the cheapest thing to try first and the likely culprit here. Check CarMD site for recalls and TSB's regarding EVAP leak as well. Good luck.

Hi There! After pulling the code from your CarMD did you plug in your CarMD device into your computer?
CarMD will search through their database with your specific make/model and the error code being generated.
