Cadillac SRX Check Engine Light On Sign In
It's a 2006 Cadillac SRX with a code reading of P0496 EVAP Emission High Purge Flow Fault. I do not know what that means. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Cadillac SRX Check Engine Light On Sign In
That is an emissions code related to the system that controls fuel vapors in the fuel tank. It has no effect on engine performance.

So what do I have to do to fix the problem so the light turns off. I think it's going to have to get a smog this year. Thanks.

The circuit needs to be troubleshooted and the system smoke tested. Not something you're likely equipped to do.
