you have to understand that there is a leak in the system other than the gas cap for the evaporative system. The system needs to be professionally closed, and smoke introduced into to find the leak, and a through component check, eg.. purge valve vapor canister vent solenoid all functioning correctly

if the air filter was recently inspected or changed, look for the vacuum hose to be disconnected from the valve located on the air filter cover. another source may be the gas cap either loose or with the tether strap caught under it preventing a proper seal

SOURCE: OBDII CODE PO446. WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

The vapor pressure sensor, VSV for canister closed valve (CCV), VSV for pressure switching valve are used
to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system.
The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system by the vapor
pressure sensor signal.
DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components
when there is a malfunction anywhere in the VSV for EVAP, the VSV
for pressure switching valve, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.

checked basic , gas cap.

More than likely you need to take to a garage , rec. dealership
will have to perform a smoke check to see if there is a leak somewhere or wether there is a malfunction with a vac. solinoid valve(vsv)

Rx300 lexus , getting check engine light and vsc indicators on. autozone ran codes po441,po442,po446,po420.all are evap emissions sys except po420- catalyst sys. efficiency below threshold (bank 1).

bank 1 is driver side cat sensor. if one sensor goes it can get false readings on others. it could just be a seal on one of the connectors, but to find the faulty sensor is seals are fine. you need to find out the resistance on the sencore the live the negative and the signal wire are and use a meter with the engine running connect the meter to the wires with paper clips in the back of the plug with it connected it needs to be on the signal and the negative, the resistance should go up and down in resistance with engine output rev engine slowly if it moves smooth then its fine, if its not then its that sensor at fault. you can do this if you have a code reader and remove sensors one at a time till you only get one code left then the one you removed is the sensor at fault.

Codes po420 and po 442 keep popping up on my 2005 Cadillac deville it has 90,000 miles what would be the most serious issue do you think all the most likely issue wrong with my car

Failed Ignition Coils

Resulting cylinder misfires over time
have ruined the exhaust converters (PO420 Bank #1)

PO442-small leak in Evap System

It's all on the internet ,if you Google your codes
& study OBD2 Systems

Type: OBD PO 442

On a 2005 vehicle-- All-- the ignition coils will be bad after
7 or 8 years

At 100,000 miles the front Oxygen Sensors need to be replaced

Just went to autozone to see what could be wrong with my car. So far, I see the gas cap was not placed on properly after pumping and the gas was probably topped off. Got these codes. p0420, p0441, p0446

PO420- Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) More than likely a plugged converter or exhaust.Remove the upstream O2 (it'll set a code and be real loud) and then take it for a spin and see if power is restored.
vacuum switching valve may fix the PO441 code. Replacing the charcoal canister could be another thing also. Then your PO446 is EVAP emission control system incorrect purge flow. which could a gas cap, could be a fuel pump seal or pressure sensor, filler neck.

2003 toyota matrix with code po420

You don't check O2 Sensors when cold,
they won't be operating or switching until
the computer goes into closed loop & converter
lights off at 600 degrees & continues to hopefully
around 900 to 1,100 degrees
Other than replacing a sensor, the only real
test I found of any value, is to watch switching
times on an oscilloscope
You can, as you said, look at scan tool data
Giving your vehicle is a 2003 & converters last
12 to 14 years, you know yours is worn out,doesn't
matter what the inspection gas results were & with
any codes, you should have been rejected & not tested
If you check fuel trim,you will see how well the MAF Sensor
is doing & you can't adjust fuel if the converter is not capable
of holding oxygen for the sensors to read
The front O2's get replaced on all vehicles at 100,000
when or before they slow down & fail

My 02 camry le failed emmission test whats wrong error codes po440, po441, po446, po420

You have codes for a failed exhaust converter,PO420,
EVAP System problem PO440,Incorrect Purge Flow PO441,
Evap Vent Control issues,PO446

Your car is all messed up

That should have been all checked, BEFORE you spent time
in line for inspection

If all the codes are for real & not a false report

You will need new spark plugs,ignition & fuel checked,
new exhaust converters,new evap purge valve,new evap
vent solenoid & possibly vacuum leaks resolved

You either bought someones neglected vehicle or never
do a thing but drive it

May be easier to get a different vehicle,your repair bill
will start at $1,000 & go up, from not being proactive & taking
care of what is required in owning any vehicle (lack of knowledge)

You will need the oxygen sensors also & no, they won't fix the
amount, of what appears to be several failed items, all at one time

So much for Toyota being better than other vehicles

2002 toyota rav 4 / code po420 whats wrong ?

You have a cat converter ie eficiency code. Most shops are willing to sell you a cat converter and make a quick buck. However you can save some major money if you can find out what is wrong. A cat converter doesn't just go bad by itself something causes it to fail. Most likely a bad oxygen sensor or a dirty mass air flow sensor. I would replace the oxygen sensor in front before I replace converter. Reset check engine light and see if light comes back on. If it stays off you just save about 600 dollars. Oxygen sensors cause cat converters to go bad. So fix the cause first, then if you have to replace converter.
