Genuine Honda 36162-RMX-A01 Purge Control Solenoid Valve Assembly

Perfect for 2011 Odyssey getting emissions codes. Fixed them right away. Much cheaper than going to a mechanic, and doesn’t take much skill to install (it’s easily accessible in the engine bay). Do recommend a tiny Phillips head on a small ratchet to get the two screws out, and some pliers for the hose clamps. Product is legit Denso, made in Japan. The box had lots of other random stickers on it (some in Chinese, not Japanese) but I assume that’s just due to this thing getting bounced all over the earth before getting to the USA.

We had engine codes P0497 and P145C on our Honda Odyssey. It sounded like this part was the bit to replace. Comparing the old part to this one, they look identical and this one came in a Honda box, so as far as I can tell, it's the real deal. It's a bit awkward to get to this part (specifically some of the screws holding it in place) on the Odyssey, but otherwise, it's a pretty easy swap. After replacing the bad part with this one and clearing the error code, the check engine light has stopped coming on as did the "fuel cap" error, so it's looking good so far. If you're going to replace this, I'd suggest getting some cheap hose clamp pilers as well if you don't already have some. You can do it without them, but, they make it quite a bit easier.

Works as should - should have bought first but tried twice with off brand and both failed to work.

The check engine light on our 2011 Honda Ridgeline RTL came on. My scanner showed me that I had an EVAP System Leak Detected (Large Leak- P0455). The suggested solution was to either replace the gas cap or the Vapor Canister Purge Valve Assembly. Being that I had already replaced my gas cap a few months ago, I ordered this item which fixed the problem. It took approximately 30 minutes to install with a 10 mm socket/ratchet, a phillips and a standard screw driver, and channel lock pliers. No more check engine light.

Fits 2010 Acura MDX! No more check gas cap warning after install. I also had to replace the rubber tubes attached because they ripped upon removal. Part # 36168-R70-A00 and 36167-RDV-J00 were also required.

My 2011 Honda Pilot had "Check Fuel Cap" warning. Then after a week or 2, check engine light would came on and the check fuel cap warning would disappear. Then after couple of days, the check engine light would disappear, but the check fuel cap warning came back. I changed the fuel cap twice, once with a cheaper compatible and once with genuine Honda gas cap, and the problem continued and reoccured like never ended. I used my ODB code reader and retrieve a P0497 code. So I decided to take the car to a mechanics. He replaced the purge control solenoid valve for me ($300) and told me that the problem was fixed. The car ran fine without and warning for check engine light for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the problem reappeared after that. Each time the check engine light came on, I took the car back to the same mechanics and he used his diag tool to check code, but he did not find anything wrong. I went back 3 times. What I found out the last time was that he used his diag tool to reset the engine code quickly and he did not spend time to recheck the solenoid. I suspected that the mechanics was trying to avoid to replace a potentially bad valve he put in before. Also, I took out the solenoid valve he replaced and I found that it's a Made-In-China part. Then I read some review that some people fixed the similar problem with a genuine honda part. So I decided to give it a shot and buy this one. It took some effort to replace it because the hose clamps were in an odd position. But let me tell you, it's worth every second I spent. WALA. the fuel cap warning and P0497 check engine code has not come back for 2 months after I replaced it.

Works perfectly with my 2010 Honda Pilot. Installation was quick and easy, and it immediately cleared the engine light and error code. It’s been over a month with no issues so far. I will update if anything changes.

Perfect product replacement! Worked perfectly for a 2011 Honda Odyssey with the 3.5L V6! I always recommend getting OEM replacements for stuff like this especially when its a relatively inexpensive part.

Fixes the MIL and Gas cap warning. Perfecet replacement for my 2012. Would recomend
