Default Vent Control Valve Code P0455

My Rogue has 12,000 miles on it and the Service Engine Light came on. I checked and found code P0455. I tightened the gas cap, cleared the code but it came on again after 40 miles of driving. I took it to the dealer today and Nissan found a defective Vent Control Valve. Has this happened to anyone else?

u are right about it(tightening the gas cap) but sometimes it could be that the gas cap damaged or the seal is bad.u can try to buy one and see if that fixes or assuming u still have your warranty take it to the dealer

I haven't seen it on the Rogue, but it was very common on other models.

The dealer got my vent control valve in and is replacing it today. They said there have been 4 other reports of problems with the vent control valve on the Rogues.

Angry 2002 Maxima SE: Vent Control Valve changed 4 times!

Owned a 2002 Maxima SE from new. SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator came on 5 times, 4 of which the dealer said was due to vent control valve being defective. After the 3rd replacement, I kept the defective part and asked the local Unionville ONT dealer to get Nissan Canada involved. They said they could not do anything since the car was out of warranty. Previous vent control valve lasted 16 months. Part is warranted for 12 months. Decided to call Nissan Canada in person. After a few calls, the CSR told me the car is out of warranty and they could do nothing. Dealer said they would cooperate and send maintenance history to Nissan Canada, but they don't care. Changing the same part 4 times in 6 years at $350 a pop....that's outrageous...or am I expecting too much. I guarantee you that when my 2 Nissans need replacing, it won't be with a Nissan or Infinity product. Lobbying both sides of my extended family and friends to boycott this company is top on my list. If they google for "nissan vent control valve", they would start to see a trend.

Default vent control valve

if its the valve also known as the purge valve on the carbon canister, ask the dealer for the so-called broken valve and take it home...... sometimes the spring that is visible in the valve gets stuck or twisted and also might have dirt or dust ...... you can clean them and with a toothpick make the spring go back to original position..... i saved my first purge valve and it was dirty and spring was stuck in an angle..... then 6 months later my replacement valve was stuck again and i replaced with my original valve after cleaning and placing spring back into place.... p.s after cleaning valve, you need to use 2 wires to check current..... positive wire to positive side and negative to negative... you will hear the valve close if it was only stuck due to dirt or spring being stuck.... if you dont hear the valve close then it no longer works....

Just joined this forum because exactly the same happened with my Rogue, albeit at 21000 plus miles. I was also put thru the Gas cap routine but eventually they replaced the valve yesterday. Does anyone know what this valve does?

This is a very common issue with the new(er) style vent control valve. I replace at least 4 or 5 a week. Nissan is working on a countermeasure vent control valve to resolve the issues. They have released the countermeasure v/c valve upon special request from Nissan Techline for gtr only at this point. Our gtr tech just replaced one on a 2009 gtr.

Thumbs up PO455, 2008 Rogue --- THANKS!!!





My new Best Friends:



About a year and a half ago, our 2008 Nissan SERVICE ENGINE SOON light came on; at the time, I was in Balad Iraq working for a Defense Contractor. I had my wife take it to the local Nissan dealership---where I bought it and my 2007 Chevy Tahoe (just want to point out that I spent a lot of money there). They in turn plugged it in to the analyzer and it threw "a code" (I assume the P0455? They gave her the text book solution by telling her that it was most likely the gas cap, reset the light, changed her ~$70 and sent her on her marry way.

Before long, the light re-lit (because the monitor kicked back in) so she went back. This time they told her they would have to do a "smoke test" because they would have to do an in-depth diagnosis to figure out what was wrong. They said that this time it would be a minimum of $400.00. She asked if they guaranteed that doing this test would reveal what was wrong? They answered, NO! As I researched I found that if the light was not flashing, it was not that big a deal, so we waited to do anything about it.

Well, we moved to NC in January of 2010 and the light was still on. We registered the cars but there was no requirement to have an inspection until it is time to re-register the vehicles the following year. Now the year has come to an end. I bought my own code reader and there it was, the ole P0455. I decided to use the reader to reset the light and try to get the inspection done but the computers are obviously smarter than me. When they plugged it up, it showed that the system monitor was not working and they asked if I had dead battery lately because that would cause it not to read. They told me to drive it for about 30 miles or so and the system would start monitoring again. I did and well, guess what? Yup the light came back on. I sent a text to the wife and told her that we had to take it to the shop and get it fixed...

When I got home, she had been doing her research (because she is so resourceful) and came across this and a couple other sites which suggested that it may be the Vent Control Valve. I read on some possible fixes like taking it off and blowing it out or possibly putting a little WD-40 in it to possibly make it function again. After a little more looking around, I found that it was an easy job so I took it on as a DYI venture. I tried doing what all was suggested but the light came back on.

I looked around locally and found a valve that the auto parts store could have here the next day for around $85.00. Luckily they were worthless and incompetent and the valve didn't come in. I say that because I found it on Amazon for $53 (including next day shipping if you are a Prime Member). It is the old style but truthfully, I read that they last for several years or 30-40K miles so I couldn't see paying the up-charge for the new and improved version. I put that puppy on and reset the light and took her for a ride to see what happened. After about 40 miles, no light came on so I was optimistic. I pulled off and ran the monitor on her and low and behold, "0" codes. I drove it all day the next day and ran the test again and once again, "0".


I said all that to say this…This forum ROCKS and you folks saved me a LOT of money! Thanks for the help and I will definitely be using this site as long as I own a Nissan. The wife and I were talking and we just bet that the dealerships hate the internet and sites like these because they take a lot of profits out of their pockets!!



THANKS AGAIN!!! DCT

Just FYI i have seen this code on many Rogues over the past year starting to become as common as any other vehicle. Most of the time it is the vent control valve, some gas cap aand some seal on the evap pressure sensor located just above the vent control valve. I hope this helps. Most of the issues with the vent control valve is the location of the water separator at the rear bumper area. In winter snow and water and debris get caught up and runs back to the valve causing corroson and seizure. That is my take.

Yeah, it seemed to be in a dumb location when I got in to it. Directly behind the rear wheel in an open box doesn't seem like the optimum place for it to be. Thanks.

Default vent valve

I have a 2009 Rogue. Was told that the vent valve was the problem with the light coming on. I was told this by the dealership. I could not afford to have it fixed that day. So they cleared the light. It did not come back on till I filled the tank 5 days later. Is this common problem?
