Faulty EVAP vent solenoid (open or shorted coil, or internal fault); Damaged, corroded or loose wiring or connector at the vent solenoid, often exposed to road dirt and water near the canister or fuel tank; Open circuit or short to ground or voltage in the control or supply wire between the solenoid and the engine control module; Blown fuse or fault in the ignition-switched supply to the solenoid (depends on model and year); Water, dirt or debris contaminating the solenoid or canister vent area; Faulty engine control module output driver.

What it means

P1675 on a Saturn is a manufacturer-specific code for a fault in the EVAP vent solenoid control circuit. The engine control module drives the vent solenoid to open or close the fresh air vent on the charcoal canister. It set the code because the circuit voltage or current did not match what it commanded, which points to an open circuit, a short, or a faulty solenoid.

Symptoms

Check engine light on
Difficulty refuelling, with the pump clicking off repeatedly
Fuel smell around the rear of the car or near the canister
EVAP monitor not completing at an emissions test
Possible rough idle or hesitation after refuelling if the system holds pressure or vacuum

Possible causes

Faulty EVAP vent solenoid (open or shorted coil, or internal fault)likely
Damaged, corroded or loose wiring or connector at the vent solenoid, often exposed to road dirt and water near the canister or fuel tanklikely
Open circuit or short to ground or voltage in the control or supply wire between the solenoid and the engine control modulepossible
Blown fuse or fault in the ignition-switched supply to the solenoid (depends on model and year)possible
Water, dirt or debris contaminating the solenoid or canister vent areapossible
Faulty engine control module output driverrare

How to diagnose

Read the stored codes and freeze frame data, and note whether P1675 is current or intermittent and whether any other EVAP codes are present.
Locate the vent solenoid on your model and visually inspect it, its connector and the wiring for damage, corrosion, water ingress or rubbing.
Check the relevant fuse and confirm the supply voltage at the solenoid connector with the ignition on.
Measure the solenoid coil resistance and compare it with the manufacturer specification for your model.
Use a bidirectional scan tool function to command the vent solenoid on and off, and listen or feel for it clicking.
Check the control wire for continuity back to the engine control module and for shorts to ground or voltage.
Inspect the vent solenoid, vent pipe and canister area for blockage, debris or water.
If the wiring and solenoid test good, check the module connector and driver output before suspecting the engine control module.

How to fix

Replace the EVAP vent solenoid if its resistance or operation is out of specification.
Repair or replace damaged wiring and clean or replace corroded connector terminals.
Replace a blown fuse after finding and correcting the cause of the overload.
Clear contamination from the vent path and replace the solenoid or canister if they are contaminated.
Replace or repair the engine control module only after all wiring and component faults have been ruled out.

Can I keep driving?

Low severity

The car is normally safe to drive, as this is an emissions-related fault. Book it in soon, as a stuck solenoid can cause refuelling problems and the fault will fail an emissions test.
