P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction
The code P0446 is set when the engine computer recognizes a fault or restriction at the vent control part of the Evaporative emission control system (EVAP). The description of the fault varies between different car manufacturers, but one thing is common, the code P0446 doesn't directly point to a defective part; some testing might be required to pinpoint the faulty component.
What can cause the code P0446:
- faulty vent control valve
- blockage at the vent hose, vent filter or vent control valve
- open or short in the vent control valve circuit
- bad charcoal canister
- EVAP system leak
- faulty EVAP system pressure sensor
- bad vacuum switching valve (VSV)
- stuck open purge valve (solenoid)
If there was a leak at the gas cap. EG: Left off or loose after fill up? You will need to have the codes cleared or it will clear itself after enough key cycles. EG: Started and shut back off as many as 20 to 50 or more times.
