My check Engine light went on couple days again. So I used OBD11 scanner and I got these codes.


P0446
EVAP Emission Control Systems Vent Circuit Malf.

P0441
EVAP Emission Control Systems Purge flow fault.

Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it to a shop?


Thanks

 

What year, model and engine is this vehicle?
Need a bit more infor before we can help you...

 

I have a 1996 Toyota 4runner Limited Edition 4WD.

Thank you for your help.

 

since you have the codes, you should be able to figure out which part is bad. use the service manual and walk thru the procedure on checking which item has gone bad.

I had a similar evap issue early on and the dealer warrantied the work as it was one of the sensors that went bad. It was definitely something I couldn't do on my own as I didn't want to pay for it.

if this problem is an emissions issue, maybe the dealer might be able to fix it for free (else, pick up the part and do it yourself if you're capable of wrenching).

Good luck
