Your check engine light came on while driving at about 25 mph. A mechanic diagnosed that your vapor canister and vacuum switching valve (VSV) need to be replaced. These components are part of your fuel system's emissions controls. The repair will involve replacing both the vapor canister and VSV to resolve the warning light and restore proper fuel vapor management.
