YOU REPLACED PARTS FOR NOTHING ! P0446 Chevrolet Evaporative Emission Vent System Performance Chevy Impala Check Engine Light Codes P0446 P0451 EVAP Trouble HERE WATCH A REAL TECH.

EVAP Evaporative Emission Control System .follow this link for the P0446 fault , this is a problem with the Engine Evap valve , this link describes in detail the system etc. The other code P0155 is for the Front Oxygen sensor bank 2 , this could be a faulty wiring connection or the sensor its self so further diagnosis will be required .I would advice using a good quality fuel addative , one that covers the catalytic convertor as well as the usual engine parts, injectors etc as there may just be build up of carbon on the sensor that is restricting the signal being recieved , keep me posted if you wish

code p0446 refers to evaporate emission (EVAP)system-vent control--circuit malfunction===causes--wiring--EVAP--canister purge valve--ECM
replace the purge valve

Check up under the driver side body behind the rear wheel (left rear). It should be tucked up under the body. It should have 3 hoses connected to it, and is a black rectangular looking plastic box.

Hi there:
DTC P0446 - Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit
Evap vent valve has only one purpose. It closes in order to seal the vent so the EVAP system can pressurize and ensure there are no leaks. Evap vent valve is usually supplied Batt. voltage with key on. The ECM's driver controls the ground, and when grounded, activates the valve (closing it). If the ECM detects a short to ground, and open,or a short to battery voltage on the control circuit, P0446 will set.

With a P0446 OBD-II trouble code, here are some things to try:
Replace Vent valve
Repair open, short, or resistance problem in control circuit
Repair open, or short, or resistance problem in power circuit
Replace PCM

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

DTC P0446 - Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit

Evap vent valve has only one purpose. It closes in order to seal the vent so the EVAP system can pressurize and ensure there are no leaks. Evap vent valve is usually supplied Batt. voltage with key on. The ECM's driver controls the ground, and when grounded, activates the valve (closing it). If the ECM detects a short to ground, and open,or a short to battery voltage on the control circuit, P0446 will set. Code also may refer to ECM detecting that EVAP system is unable to achieve or maintain vacuum during test.

Symptoms: There will be no obvious symptoms to driver, other than MIL illumination.


Causes: A code P0446 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

• Faulty vent valve
• Open, short or excessive resistance on Vent valve control circuit
• Blockage of vent valve
• Bad PCM

Possible Solutions: With a P0446 OBD-II trouble code, here are some things to try:

• Replace Vent valve
• Repair open, short, or resistance problem in control circuit
• Repair open, or short, or resistance problem in power circuit
• Replace PCM

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

P0446 = Evaporative Emission Control / System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction.

Check it, and before you replace the Evap Canister read this:

Subject: DTC P0446 (Restricted/Blocked EVAP Vent Path) Set, Service Engine Soon (SES) Lamp Illuminated (Replace Hose/Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Vent Asm) #02-06-04-037A - (02/02/2005)
Models: 1999-2003 Chevrolet Silverado Models

Condition
Some customers whose vehicles are operated in dusty type environments, such as farming or mining off-road type applications, may comment about the illumination of the instrument panel SES light, with a DTC of P0446 (Restricted/Blocked EVAP Vent Path) being set.

Cause
Dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP canister vent hose assembly, resulting in restricted air flow, may cause this condition.

Correction
After following the Service Manual diagnostic P0446 and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is the cause of the SES light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent hose assembly with a new assembly, P/N 15086429. This new assembly has an enhanced filtering capability and a filter element that can be easily removed and cleaned. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedure below.

Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle.
Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve electrical connector.
Disconnect the vent valve pipe at the EVAP canister.
Remove and retain the EVAP canister vent valve bracket mounting bolt.
Disengage, from the underbody, the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the underbody.
Remove and discard the complete EVAP canister vent hose assembly.
Position and secure the new assembly to the underbody using the existing hole and mounting bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the bracket mounting bolt to 12 N·m (106 lb in).

Install the two vent valve pipe clips into the existing underbody holes.
Connect the vent valve pipe to the EVAP canister.
Connect the EVAP canister vent valve electrical connector.
Lower the vehicle.
When properly installed, the new EVAP canister vent hose assembly will be positioned outboard of the original installation location. This new location provides clearance for accessing the filter element for cleaning purposes. To access the filter element, disengage the filter cover to valve locking finger by gently lifting the finger upward while simultaneously rotating the filter body clockwise. After approximately 45 degrees of rotation, the filter can be disengaged from the valve by gently pulling outward. The filter cover can then be removed and the filter element and body can be washed with soap and water. Prior to reinstalling, ensure that the body and filter element are dry.

Hope help with this.

NO, it's kind of tight, but it's not that bad. You do need to remove the torque converter cover, and slide/rotate it as much to the driver's side of the vehicle as possible.
