2017 Ford Fiesta fuel system problems

Filed Sep 4, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · CA

Check engine light illuminated. Dealer retrieved DTC P0457 for an EVAP leak. Dealer performed EVAP diagnostic testing and determined that the canister purge valve was leaking. Purge valve was replaced at owner expense. After replacement, EVAP leak verification passed and DTC was resolved. I am reporting the failure because Ford has previously identified canister purge valve failures on other Ford vehicles and I believe similar failures may be occurring on Ford Fiesta vehicles.

The first time it was replaced was at mileage 47084 at winner Ford dealership. On June 11th 2021. The second time it was replaced was at Winter Ford dealership on March 17th 2022 with mileage 59,678.

There is a green tab on the tube that you use fingers to push. Again no tools required and takes 10 seconds to do. Purge valve is suppose to be shut off by default. If air is moving through, you have a leaking valve. If you remove the whole assembly and blow on the end, it needs to not come out from other end.
