Default P0496 Purge Solenoid

I am getting the P0496 "Evap Emission High Purge Flow Fault".

Does anyone know where the purge solenoid is located? I am not talking about the Evap vent solenoid (It is by the gas tank filler neck). I replaced the vent solenoid, it was definitely bad but now I am getting the high purge flow fault. I am hoping someone can save me time looking for it. Can't find anything on the internet or in this forum specifically on the impala 2006+. I found one video from 1A Auto but it is calling the vent solenoid the purge solenoid which it is not.

Any help?

Replaced it today, hopefully that fixed it. You could blow through the old one but not the new one. Got 229K out of the first one, maybe I'll get that out of this new one.

Glad you got it fixed man. Hopefully the car goes before the solenoid.. But at least now you know where to look
