On my rav4 from 1997y, the charcoal canister is located in the engine compartment, bellow the air intake resonator.

You could have a leak at the filler neck, a leaking fuel cap, any number of things. The canister is suspect (I replaced two canisters on Toyota products this week)


The proper and least expensive way to check the system is with a smoke machine. This will find any leaks in the EVAP system.


Also, check under the hood for any hoses that may have been disturbed. Unplug the EVAP solenoids and plug them back in.


If you wanted an idea of what I would do without a smoke machine, I'd replace the fuel cap using only a genuine Toyota cap.


Clear the code, and if it hasn't reset in 3-4 days, either the fault is intermittent or the cap was faulty.
