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.

Check Diagnostis Information Procedure.

Hope this helps and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

I got code PO 452, PO 443, PO 449 all EMS codes what do I need to replace and how hard to do your self?

The codes only tell the mechanic what to test, not what to replace.
You would need to get the shop manual for your vehicle to have the test instructions for each code.
Code 452 is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor circuit, 443 is evap canister purge and 449 is the vent valve circuit.
The evap system and those components would need to be checked out.

How can I replace a canister vent solenoid for a 2006 Chevy Tahoe code 449/300

Google the location & a picture & replace yourself

Has to be near the fuel tank

PO449 is the Evap Vent Solenoid

PO 300 is random cylinder misfires maybe from the
extra air, when the evap purge runs

Have OBD codes P2A00, P0441, P0442, P0446 on my 2003 Highlander. Selling the car in a few months. Does this really need to be repaired before trade-in? Can I just erase the codes?

NOPE CANT ERASE CODES UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED OR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON WILL STAY ON. CODE PO441 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION EVAP SYSTEM INCORRECT FLOW DETECTED.CHECK INTAKE VACUUM HOSE CONNECTIONS AT THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE.IF ALL IS GOOD.THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE COULD BE BAD. CODE PO 442 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION EVAP SYSTEM SMALL LEAK DETECTED. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LARGE LEAK DETECTED FUEL CAP LOOSE OR OFF MISSING.

Hello Edwin, I purchased the evap emission control purge valve, but I don't find anything that looks like it mounted at the firewall. The reading I am getting is 449.

the code you have is for the evap vent solenoid. it is not mounted in engine compartment!!! You will find the vent solenoid valve mounted by the gas tank.It is located on the frame top right where the bed and cab meet drivers side.hope this helps thanks for using fixya

'99 olds 88 diagnosed PO 446 evap vent control problem

Your code means:

P0446 onepx.gif EVAP Canister Purge Vent Blocked

Some of the possible causes:

EVAP vent fresh air hose is clogged, kinked or restricted
EVAP Vent solenoid is contaminated, damaged or has failed
FTP sensor is out-of-calibration, damaged or "skewed"
PCM has failed

All tough thing for a lay person to check. You don't have to take it to the dealer, any repair garage that has the proper equipment can fix this for you.
