Question

If I have received the P0496 code on my 2006 Cadillac CTS, what shall I do to fix the problem?

Answer 1

P0496 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system flow during non purge

Condition for this code is when there is undesired intake manifold flow to the EVAP system. by the way of the cansiter purge valve sticking open . There has been a Recall # 09205 " Campaign-EVAP  Emission Cansiter Purge Solenoid Valve.

Answer 2

The P0496 code indicates a problem with the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System. The EVAP system is designed to prevent fuel vapors in the gas tank from escaping into the atmosphere by channeling them to the engine for combustion. This code suggests that there is still a flow of emission gases even when the system is supposed to be sealed. The cost depends on the problem. If it is just the Canister Purge Valve (Solenoid), parts and labor cost around $150. The most likely causes for this code include:

• Faulty EVAP Canister Vent Valve
• Faulty EVAP Canister Purge Valve
• Clogged EVAP Canister
• Faulty EVAP Pressure Sensor
