DTC P0449 - Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Valve/ Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
The most likely problem is the evap vent solenoid which is mounted
under the truck back by the fuel tank. The code is related to the
circuit to the solenoid. Most likely the solenoid is shorted or Open
which is causing the code to set. The other things to check if the
solenoid is not the problem is the wiring to the solenoid could be
corroded or broken or damaged. The last thing to suspect is the pcm
which is the computer that runs the system. It could have a faulty
driver inside, but I would suspect the solenoid or wiring first.
There
is a bulletin for the vent solenoids getting dirt or road debris inside
of them so when you go to get your solenoid, you may get a kit that
will require you to relocate the solenoid and add a section of heater
hose and a new inlet which you will need to mount around the passenger
side of the trans. This keeps road debris and dirt from getting into
the solenoid.
