If you overfill the tank times it could flood the canister. There is also a possibility of a sensor issue or perhaps the associated lines, but the two above are the most common.

    In the CD shop manual there is detailed information on the canister and how to troubleshoot the system.
    Yes,this is the most common issue,i had my canister replace last year,the engine light still comes on,but the mech said got to be a ECU wire that is faulty.but since is so many possible causes you got to test all related components to figured which is the real cause of the malfunction
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Mine trips about once, twice a month. I found the wire for it going to the tank and it was broken. I repaired the wire and voila...code still trips once, twice a month.

    Lately, it's been behaving itself and hasn't been on for about a month. I have been guilty in the past of over-filling with gas...perhaps since I've been very careful as of late, things are looking up
