Canister Purge Valve (automobile)

If im not mistaken it should be next to throttle body. I know the one for my Camry Hybrid is near the throttle body and the one for the work C-Max is near the throttle body.
 
for the ones I replaced, they were located under the throttle body....on the Ford I believe there is only one...

I did a Chevy Trailblaser, and there were two, one near the engine, and one near the gas tank....



there was also a recall on some of them....worth looking into

 
 
That recall doesn't include 2014.

The guy in the first video apparently is changing the vacuum hoses, not the valve/solenoid.

I had the CEL trigger on Wed 6/26 ... ahead of planning a road-trip for 7/3 of 26+ hrs drive-time.  The local dealer is 3-weeks out on service appts, they wouldn't even check the code to confirm if it was anything serious or not ... I had AutoZone check it.  P0456 -- evaporative emission system leak detected (very small leak).  Recommendation to change the canister purge valve solenoid, of which failure can allow the engine to draw raw fuel, too-rich of a mixture, black smoke from the engine exhaust, and increased fuel consumption.

Gasoline odor is a possible symptom ... which I did notice an odor a few days prior when playing with the audio system to check how it handles a USB thumb drive with subfolders ... while parked in my garage with the engine not running best as I can recall.  Or maybe it did run for a bit at some point ... the car is a hybrid so the engine does not run immediately when the car is started unless the HV battery charge is very low.

Research found that a mis-seal of the flapper on the capless gas tank could also be a cause, so I did some finagling with that.

The CEL turned off after 5 or 6 days.  I did take it on the road-trip ... total of 1,729 miles.  The CEL did not and has not turned on again.  MPG for the trip was normal considering that the traveling buddy who drove 2/3 of the distance drives very aggressively compared to me.

I have a service appt for 7/16.  The canister purge valve is $19.99 from AutoZone (Duralast brand) IF they're showing the correct part.  I found another video of a fellow changing his valve on a 2014.  His valve is physically not the same as what's referenced on the AutoZone report -- Duralast P/N PV716.

I found it now ... on front of the engine at the right side.  I took the air intake flume off, access is tighter than it looks, the radiator fan is an obstruction.

check out....RockAuto.com....and PartsGeek.com.....for parts....

a lot of times cheaper than AutoZone, Advance Auto and PepBoys….but you do have to factor in shipping and wait time...weigh out your options...
 
If it has not recurred, I would just let it go. Codes clear after successful ignition cycles, so I'd bet you had a lapse in that filler cap. On the Saab I get an occasional passenger airbag error message (about every siz months) which seems to correlate with humid cool conditions.
