Today, we’re going to look at replacing the canister vent solenoid, also known as the canister shut solenoid, on a 2010 Honda Accord with a 3.5-liter engine. This part is located underneath the vehicle in the rear, near the fuel tank and the evap vapor canister assembly.
If your vehicle has close to two hundred thousand miles on it, it might be necessary to replace the entire canister assembly, but in this case, we will focus on replacing just the solenoid. First, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the ring to expose the solenoid. Carefully pry out the old solenoid and replace it with a new one, making sure to follow the specific alignment tabs for proper installation.
It’s important not to lubricate the o-rings, as per the service information. Once the new solenoid is in place, lock it by giving it a quarter turn, reconnect the electrical connector, and make sure to clear any trouble codes and run a system test to ensure proper operation.
By following these steps, you can effectively replace the canister vent solenoid on a Honda Accord with a 3.5-liter engine.
