2008 Ford Taurus SEL P0446 Code: Diagnosing and Fixing Evaporative Emission System Fault

Model: 2008 Taurus SEL Fault Code: P0446 Posted: 2014-11-29 14:33

I have replaced both the purge and vent solenoids, as well as the gas cap, but the P0446 code persists. Could this indicate a problem with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or is there another potential cause I should investigate?

To troubleshoot the issue, you must verify that B+ voltage is present at the feed wire of the vent solenoid. This helps confirm whether the solenoid is receiving proper power and can rule out wiring or electrical faults as a root cause.
