Investigating P0446 on Your 2022 Genesis GV80
A P0446 code on your 2022 Genesis GV80 indicates an EVAP vent control circuit malfunction. The GV80 uses the JX1 platform with a 2.5L turbo four-cylinder or 3.5L twin-turbo V6. Genesis uses a Canister Close Valve (CCV) for vent control and a Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) with Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (FTPS) monitoring.
Genesis' 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty should be active. The industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty provides extensive coverage with complimentary pickup and delivery.
