Got a code P0453
I have a check engine light on and On Star did a check for me it is P0453.
"e powertrain system has detected an evaporative emissions system malfunction. If the Service Engine Soon light remains on after starting and driving your vehicle 7 more times, your vehicle requires service".
Has anyone else had this? Haven't driven it since the light came on and can't get a hold of the dealership to check with them.
Rather obvious that it is not a life or death thing but just looking for some real life info on this....
Anyone have any experience with this one.
Car has 75,0035 miles and this is the second thing to happen in 5 1/2 years of ownership, that was minor issue also.
Thanks for any help.

If C7's like C6 an evap canister solenoid goes south triggering code.
Requires replacement & fortunately not expensive as Corvette repairs go.
Can be a DIY w/ C6, although accessibility/work space is tight.
If it's the same culprit it's located in RR wheel well, have to remove liner IIRC.
All assumes the 2 generation's used same system.
Dealer replaced EVS on my '06 & didn't break the bank, suspect C7 would be similar.
