DTC P0446: EVAP Vent Valve Performance: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A restricted or blocked Evaporative (EVAP) emission vent path is detected by the control module commanding the purge valve ON (open) and the vent valve ON (closed) allowing a vacuum to be applied to the EVAP system. Once a calibrated vacuum level has been reached, the control module commands the purge valve OFF (closed) and the vent valve OFF (open) while monitoring the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor for a decrease in vacuum. If the vacuum does not decrease to near 0 in. H2O in a calibrated time, DTC P0446 will set.
