Concern:
Current Powertrain Control Module (PCM) code P0449.
Tests/Procedures:
1. Inspect the evaporative vent solenoid, near the fuel tank
and evaporative canister. Look for wire damage, corrosion.
2. Check
voltage to the solenoid on the Orange wire. It should be battery voltage,
backprobing. If not, check the voltage level on the CAN VENT fuse, #69 in the
Underhood Bussed Electrical Center (UBEC).
3. Cycle the evaporative vent
solenoid with a scan tool. The solenoid should click.
4. Backprobe the
White wire, pin 22 of the blue PCM connector. The voltage on this wire should be
battery voltage with the solenoid off and close to 0 volts with the solenoid
on.

in my experience the usual culprit is the evap cannister. the problem is it gets moisture in it and freezes during winter thus cracking the plastic. if you lay under the car and look at the evap box it black plastic and if you see a loose or cracked hose or the box itself is cracked that is most likely it. as a side note you can check the gas cap and buy a new one to see if that rectifies the situation. lastly i don't think the gas tank should be suspect as you would probably notice if gas was leaking out of the tank. if you take the car to a dealer or shop they can do a smoke test and determine where the leak is.
