P0449 Evaporative Emission System-Vent Valve / Solenoid Circuit - General Information

Component Location





General Description

The evaporative emissions system prevents hydrocarbon (HC) vapors from the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere where they could form photochemical smog. Gasoline vapors are collected in the charcoal canister. The Canister Closing Valve (CCV) closes off the air inlet into the canister for leak detection of the evaporative emission system. The CCV also prevents fuel vapors from escaping from the canister. When the engine purges the HC vapors from the canister, the clean air comes into the canister through the canister air-filter and the CCV.

DTC Description

ECM sets DTC P0449 if ECM detects and regards CCV is open circuit or fuel tank pressure is low as CCV open stuck.
