Default Check Engine code 3-1-5
EVAP emission control fault. What keeps causing this code to show up every few days?

You could have a hose under the car cracked or a bad evap valve.

LOL I am slowly fighting the same code on both of my cars. I find a bad hose and fit it and 2 days later it is back again.

The EVAP is a pain to when it starts to have issues. Sometimes it is just better to replace everything, then you know it is all working.
