Vapor Canister - Toyota Yaris Forums

Crashmaster · 02-23-2010, 12:04 PM

I have had my 2 door Yaris for about 28 months. It's just the standard plain jane model with the only two options being A/C and CD player. I have about 80,000 miles on it and have changed the oil between 5,000 and 6,000 miles since I bought it.

For about a month the engine light has been coming on. Doing the diagnostic, the codes come up indicating that the vapor canister is bad. I removed it and did some basic testing to see if any of the ports were clogged as per the maintence manual. Everything seems good but the codes keep coming up. Does anybody know of how I might be able to fix this on the cheep? A new one from Toyota costs about $775, and I just can't see spending a good percentage of what the car cost ($12,500) on a single part.

Thanks in advance
