DTC P0446: EVAP Vent Valve Performance: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Safari, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. 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 monitoring the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) during normal operation. The control module commands the Evaporative (EVAP) emission vent valve OFF (open), and the EVAP canister purge valve ON (open). The fuel tank pressure should remain low as vacuum is drawn on the EVAP system. If the vent path is blocked or restricted, the vacuum level will increase and DTC P0446 will set.
