2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V?

Question

i have a 2002 nissan sentra se-r spec v with an engine light code that is p01448 i have no idea what this means i dont know if any one else has had the same prob.

Answer 1

Its amazing how many Spec V owners there are on Yahoo.

P1448 is an EVAP Cannister Vent Control Valve Malfunction.

This code does not automatically mean the VCV needs to be replaced.  It just means a fault was detected there which may or may not be ongoing.  It will not cause a drivability problem but you won't pass if you have emissions testing in your state.  This may be covered under the federally mandated 8 year/80k mile emissions system warranty.

Answer 2

I'd just try to search google for that.  If that doesn't work, call the dealer or your local mechanic.  They should be happy to help you and give you a quote for what it will cost to fix it.

OK I did the work for you.  It says P01448 - replace vent control valve.

It was the first thing that came up with that code and nissan typed into google.  I didn't even have to click on it to get it, sheesh--help yourself a little people.
