P0458 Code - Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Control Circuit Low Voltage

Quick Answer

The Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. Common causes include Faulty Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control harness is open or shorted, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is Low - monitor the vehicle and repair when practical. The vehicle can usually be driven if no severe symptoms are present, but symptoms should be checked before extended driving.

Code P0458 Description

The Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is moved by ON/OFF pulses from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The longer the ON pulse, the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.

Discuss the causes and fixes for P0458 OBDII Code

  • I have a 2010 ford escape 6 cylinder 2 wheel drive. for the last month I have had a problem with cranking it. first it started with having to turn the key several times before it would crank up. now whatever was happening has completely mess up. I now have to connect two bolts in the solenoid with a screwdriver and have the key in the on position just to start it EVERY TIME! I initially thought it was my started so I bought a new one, had it replaced, same problem, so I checked the uses that affected the started, they are all good. so now I'm at a stat of confusion.
    the code that was given to me from the device that was connected to by car is P0458. I recently bought an ignition switch module, is this the answer to my problem? I need help!

  • The ignition switch module could be the solution to the hard start problem, but the P0458 has nothing to do with the hard start situation, it's a separate issue.

  • I have a 2007 chevy aveo 4 door sedan, with a 1.6L 4 cyl. engine. I am getting the code: P0458 on my code reader. The description is as follows: Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Low. So far I have replaced the gas cap and the Canister Vent Solenoid, and neither part fixed the problem. I'm thinking that because the code says, circuit low, it must be an electrical problem. Someone please help me.

  • Unfortunately neither of the parts you replaced are for the P0458 code. You should have to replace the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid ( Read more: http://www.autocodes.com/p0... )

  • Would you happen to have a picture of the purge solenoid for my car? I'd like to see what it looks like, so I can find it in my car.

  • Unfortunately I don't have a picture, only this image from the service manual. I hope it helps.

  • Here is another image from AutoZone

  • I have a 2007 Aveo and I have no ignition power going to the purge solenoid where does it come from and should there be power there with the key on

  • You should have power at terminal "B" with the ignition ON. The PCM controls the valve by grounding the terminal "A".

    FYI, at least 90% of the times the problem is the Purge Solenoid Valve
