I ran some codes and it gave me P0446. I have no idea what to look for and my mechanic is being pretty vague on what I need to fix. Can someone help me?

It's been a really long time, but mine might have been a bad gas cap..

The gas cap has been changed since my step dad broke it to try to pour sugar into it. but I'll look into it more when its not raining outside. Thank you

Make sure you use a factory toyota gas cap, not an aftermarket one. The aftermarket ones never seal correctly.

OP > I believe this topic has been covered many times in this forum. Please use the search function using keywords like P0446 (like this search). To avoid information of the same matter spread to various thread, I am closing this thread.
Also, although other members may have found a solution, a certain CEL does not mean there is only one solution and can be due to many number of reasons.
