well i have 2 mini vans my 96 grand caravan is giving me a code of p1495. secondary emission conrol. leak detection pump wtf? when i clear the code the light never goes off. it just says 1 code remains. the van runs and drives great. the light is annoying. im not one to pull the bulb. im not that type of guy. i want to know why its comming on and fix it. by the way its a 96 grand caravan se with a 3.3 and california emissions. can i get it reflashed to do away with this? can anyone reflash it? fawk this is annoying!

 

Is you're gas cap tight

 

this took me 30seconds, seriously.

yup...thought of that too

 

ive already seen that twice. he had the wrong ecu

 

did you check the wiring they were talking about?

 

well the vehicle he was speaking of was an intrepid. my caravan has quite a different setup

 

purge solenoid still good? does that thing have 2 o2 sensors?

 

yup it has 2 o2 sensors.
the purge seloniod is fine. it sits under the hood on the passenger side.

 

Check to make sure the gas cap is sealing. It's looking at a vacuum leak somewhere in the emissions/fuel system. It could be the LDP actually quit. But usually, this code is given when the fuel cap is left off. Also possible a vacuum line collapsed, or is cut. But, that's just a good starting point.

When you clear the codes, it should not immediately come back on, unless the electrical connector for the LDP has a short, or something is providing an electrical fault, which would show up immediately. Nothing else (besides electrical system components) really tests until a few seconds after the motor is running.
