...in the DTC indicates a Purge Valve C FAULT in the EVAP Emission Control System.

Maybe another more-experienced Forum member will provide your best option to cure this situation....could be as easy as tightening or replacing a worn seal gas cap.

The list you link to is an abbreviated list.

Codes that start X0xxx (Where X=B,C,P,U and xxx=3 digits) are defined by the OBD2 standard and are common to ALL cars with OBD2. In other words, whether a GM vehicle, a Mercedes, or a Toyota, a P0443 is a Purge Valve fault in the EVAP system.

Codes that start with a digit otther than "zero" are defined by the manufacturer. So a P1555 might be a failure in a coil on a GM vehicle, and may be a failure of the Mass Air Flow Sensor on a Mercedes.

So according to the link above its a Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control Circuit. Where is this located and is it just a quick fuse to repair or something?
