What does failed canister vent solenoid mean on my 1998 ford explorer?

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

Trouble Code: P0499

NVLD Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit High

Possible Causes:


NVLD canister vent solenoid control circuit is open or is shorted to power.NVLD canister vent solenoid ground circuit is open.NVLD canister vent solenoid is damaged or it has failed.PCM has failed.Mr. Perkins,here are the causes for the code.

FORD PUT EVAP CANISTER UNDER HOOD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

Technical Description:
EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
The EVAP system monitors the canister vent (CV) solenoid circuit for an electrical failure.
The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified canister vent duty cycle by PCM command.
Symptoms: You will likely not notice any drivability problems.
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)
*Possible SolutionsVerify canister vent solenoid - To verify normal functioning, monitor the EVAP canister vent solenoid signal PID EVAPCV and the signal voltage

right on the top of the canister it's even part of the canister and can't be removed you just change the canister

Did you check the block box connected to the vent solenoid? There's a hose that comes off it that appears to run nowhere, that's the fresh air vent. If it's blocked it won't allow air into the system which will set the trouble code. If that's clear, the vent solenoid itself is bad and needs to be replaced.

The only thing that can cause a saturated vapor canister is over filling the fuel tank.,
