FORD: How to Diagnose and Repair DTC P1450 (Purge Valve)

How to properly diagnose and fix DTC P1450.
The Code P1450 stands for Unable To Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum.
This is a very common problem on Ford and GM vehicles.
The most common cause for this DTC is the purge valve, which I show you how to replace in this video.

[@mobyabbas1995]

Thanks for the video. What is the part no for 2018 Ford Escape 1.5L eco boost?

[@rodlinton6585]

Are you sure there should not be a "pull" on the vacuum value? I got the error code P1450 on my 2014 Ford Escape after an oil change. After taking the hoses and clipped wire lines off and checking the vacuum (which was pulling), I reassembled it and the engine light went off. I'm wondering if the cheap oil change place loosened a hose when uncovering the air filter. Last thing, thanks for the video! I would not have known what I was even looking for without it!

[@cruz7391]

So I have a 2016 Ford Fusion 1.5L I’ve been having this issue so I replaced the purge valve filled up wouldn’t start until I pushed the gas while it cranks ok went ahead replaced the Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid filled up again before heading to Vegas it cranks little struggle but it started alright no check engine light filled up over there before heading back home again struggled used the gas while it cranked and now still have this code, anything else you recommend to replaced?

[@bmennig]

Changed the whole valve assembly about 2 years ago on my 2016 Ford Escape Titanium. Don’t remember the code. Just recently after filling up got P1450. Glad you showed how to rule in the solenoid. Is there a way to rule out the large valve assembly part? If I can get suction when I disconnect from solenoid does that mean it’s okay?

[@FlyingWrenches13]

Should be able to just unplug connector and line coming from tank. Start the engine and if it’s pulling a vacuum the purge valve is bad. Other than that, it’s pretty hard to check anything else without a scanner that allows you to command the purge and vent valve open or closed.

Hi Mason, good video...I have a 2016 f150 xlt 3.5 eco and I'm getting the p1450 code for the second time...I took to the ford dealer and they replaced the filler tube...meet that code popped up again....my truck doesn't have that kind of purge valve you show in your video....maybe ford used a different type on that year...was wandering if you have any advice on what I should bemlooking for since I believe I have a different style purge valve?? Thankd

[@justenhansen]

I also have a 2016 f150, and My purge valve is right in the center of the engine bay. There's a green connector holding it to the tube. But a shop replaced it months ago and I still have that code. Plus I tested the new one and it looks good. Nick, did you find another way to clear that code?

[@_knife.prty_]

Question: I have error code P1450 on my 2015 Ford Fiesta. However, the check engine light comes on and off and I only have problems starting after filling up every so often. My check engine light then went away and I ended up passing my emissions test so I wasn't going to sweat fixing it ASAP. I've been putting it off for a month now but my car ended up dying last Friday as I was in an intersection at a red light. The shop said Alternator and Starter and battery are all good and I was able to drive home after pulling over to turn my car on and off after it stalled for a sec!? Any advice? I'm not sure if replacing this will help?

Hey I have a 2015 Ford Mustang 5.0 I got code p1450 I change the purge valve but I still get the engine light but I got a code of p0446 at same time with p1450. Should change the canister vent valve or change another purge valve

[@FlyingWrenches13]

If you have already changed the purge valve, I definitely wouldn’t change it again. The purge valve probably fixed the 1450 code. The p0446 is actually a circuit DTC so it could have some wiring issues. You could replace the vent valve and see if that takes care of it. Especially if it’s real cheap. Make sure you check the wires at the connector for the vent valve real good. I have seen them break there before. If the vent valve doesn’t fix it, your probably going to have to get you a wiring diagram and test the wiring for good continuity from the pcm to vent valve.

I T'd in a vacuum line and there's like 3psi on the system, collapsing the fuel tank, but the fuel tank pressure sensor only reads -0.31psi????..... I can't find anybody who's repaired this code any other way. Should I just replace the purge valve on this person's vehicle too and just hope that's it!?!?

[@andrewshah10]

Hey man thanks for the great video! I have been troubled with this code P1450(unable to bleed fuel tank vaccum) and still have not found a solution. I have changed the purge flow solenoid as well as the vent solenoid attached to the charcoal canister box. Forsccan data shows 3D 81(blocked evap system line-fault confirmation test) not ready, and 3D 82(vapor blocking valve perfromance) not ready. For some reason it is never able to test. Any idea of what you think can be causing this? I have a 2016 ford f150 5.0. Thanks so much!

[@kolinreichstein3399]

check fuel tank pressure sensor. sometimes if they are undercoated or contaminated they show EVAP system stuck in a vacuum . Tank pressure key on engine off show read near zero and tank voltage right at 2.6 volts. If not, fuel tank pressure sensor is faulty

Hi did you ever find a solution? I'm in a similar boat

Do you have a hard time starting your vehicle after getting gas? If so, it’s probably the EVAP purge valve.

I replaced the valve on my 'o6 Expedition but still get the P1450 code. The thing is, I only got that code after I had it in the shop for the 100k tune-up and when I got it back, I started smelling gas fumes. Do you think the shop could have pinched the hose running from the engine compartment to the evap canister? or maybe a bad evap canister? or bad hose? I'm not blaming my mechanic, he actually was trying to help me find where the smell was coming from thinking the same thing, but we couldn't nail down the source. Then I started getting the code.

[@catbird1759]

It's a shame that these purge valves are failing at an alarming rate. We have Ford explorers in our LE department. We're going on our second round of replacing the purge valves. My opinion is that the rubber seal in the valve is NOT compatible with ethanol fuel. Causing the rubber to harden up and creating a bad seal. I don't like ethanol fuel because it cost consumers a lot of money. Including lower fuel mileage range also. So you tell me how that's better for the economy.
