That code is set when the valve is commanded open and not seen opening.
Check the connector for corrosion at the valve or broken wiring.
Worse case scenario you will need a new valve.

It located on the right side of the engine ,right beside the valve cover.A hose goes in and out of it.

Made a mistake thats the purge solenoid the vent solenoid is located at the back of the car behind the gas tank.You will see a cannister there with the connectors on it.
