2001 Explorer Sporttrack
Hi everyone! A new guy here.
I've got an issue with my sporttrack. When I turn on my truck, the voltage display drops down to low and stays that way.
I bought a OBD2 code reader and got code P1451. I know the technical description is: EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction.
I also know the possible causes and possible solutions are:
Causes
A code P1451 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Now, I've copied this from the internet, so I only know this because I searched for it. I'm no mechanic, just a backyard one.
I've checked the wires for possible cracks and found none. The solenoid is a bit rusty, but all the wires are intact and as they should be.
What am I missing here? Am I looking in the wrong direction or???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil.

Causes
A code P1451 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
- VPWR circuit open
- Damaged canister vent solenoid
- Canister vent solenoid circuit open or shorted to ground, power, etc.
- Damaged Powertrain Control
Module (PCM)
- Verify canister vent solenoid - To verify normal functioning, monitor the EVAP canister vent solenoid signal PID EVAPCV and the signal voltage (PCM control side). With the valve open, EVAPCV indicates 0% duty cycle and a voltage approximately equal to battery
voltage. When the valve is commanded fully closed, EVAPCV indicates 100% duty cycle, and a minimum voltage drop of 4 volts is normal. Output test mode may be used to switch output on/off to verify function. - Replace canister vent solenoid
