How do I fix code P0458 PONTIAC?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Cost of diagnosing the P0458 PONTIAC code
The cost of diagnosing the P0458 PONTIAC code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
When is the code detected
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a low voltage on the canister purge solenoid with the driver commanded on
Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0458 PONTIAC Description
The Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge valve is used to purge fuel vapor from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The EVAP canister purge valve is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM). Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the EVAP canister purge valve. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
