Frikken mice at the wiring to the sensor, but I caught it in time and repaired it before it broke completely. Can anyone tell me what sensor it is, in case it fails and I need to get a new one?

negative, catch can is integrated under the UIM on the S2. Or at least what the service manual refers to as a catch can lol, DarkBrew is right though, Purge solenoid

I'm going to see if I can trace the wire and replace it. Anyone know the part number? I'm looking for it, but I don't know what it's called exactly.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see paimon's pic. I should read better myself.
