P0449 is evaporative emission control system - vent valve / solenoid circuit.
The most common Problem with that code is a bad evaporative system - vent valve / solenoid. Due to the location on many vehicles the get debris and moisture that sits inside them and they corrode and or stick.

Where is the fuel pressure sensor located on the engine of a 2012 2.4L Chevy Equinox?

why assume it has one./?
no problem stated just how to shop.
the dealer has the part. if it has one at all.
2.4 flex or not. flex fuel.???? /can not guess real engines. there.
turbo? and more engine can be many options,
why not post the VIN # so we can know what is really under the hood. just put XXXX's a the end to hide the serial.
the VIN has a real chevy engine code as does the BODY RPO codes called engine codes.
the petrol version of car (gasoline only) has GAS tank pressure sensor is and NOT fuel pressure at all.
the tank sensor up top is for EVAP testing USA EPA laws.
it can tell you gas cap is loose , and common. and only cap is wrong. 99% of time. new cap fixes it.

THAT?
is there a scan tool error DTC ? you leave out DTC errors in post so answers will be dead wrong?
the petrol engine has fuel pressure sensor in the FUEL pump
and not sold separate.
or click find part by VIN
I have no answers on the FLEX engine ever.

How often do I need to change my 2004 Tahoe fuel filter?

If your Tahoe is the 5.3 Non flex fuel then its in the gas tank then you dont replace it.
It's supposed to last the life of the
Tahoe.
If your Tahoe is the 5.3 flex then the fuel filter is located on the under carriage of the frame and should be replaced every 15,000 miles.
