Free easy DIY fix for check engine light with codes P0440, P0441, P0446

[@Y-N0t]

I know this is old....but like everyone else here.....THANK YOU!!! My Ford F150 died with so many evap and maf codes I went and picked up this car this weekend. Code popped up and scanner shows evap code and my hair turned grey. Saw your vid and there it is.....loose hose!!!! Thanks again!!!!

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it.

[@pysco11]

He he he he he! You've got a happy friend here! I've got my check engine light for quite a while. Got code reading at Autozone this morning and boom, 7 codes! 3 of my codes were P0440, P0441, P0446. Went to check my 02 Highlander after watching your video and what? The exact very same hose was disconnected at the bottom! I put it back as you said, disconnected one side of the battery for 10 minutes to reset the check engine light and then reconnected battery. At this time, no more check engine light! Thank you sooooo verrrry mucccchhhh! Now I am waiting to see how to fix the other codes (P1346, P0335, P0340, P1350) if ever they come back. And I still have the VSC light on. Anyway, at least one headache ($$$$$) is gone! God bless you for sharing this!

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Glad it helped.

[@fredroybal6932]

After watching this video, I checked my 2002 RX300(Also received P0400 P0401and P0406 codes) and sure enough, my line was disconnected. Hooked it up and no more codes. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@fredkamerling8338]

This happened to our '03 Highlander three times...the first was at the dealer, the second at an Oil 'n Go and the latest at the same dealer. The first two times, reconnecting the hose to the air filter box as you've demonstrated solved the problem. This latest issue, I reconnected the hose, but the check engine light did not go off. The mechanic at a trusted repair shop told me the codes had to be reset, which he did, but after a few days, the light came on again! I'm now informed that the Purge VSV needs replacing. The dealer wants $167 to do the job, but I see the VSV part on ebay for as little as $47...and I may be able to replace it myself if it's what you've identified as the purge valve in your video. I'll also check with my local autozone as mentioned in another youtube video. Thanks for your demonstration...it's spot on!

[@BobsTank]

THANKS for the tip. Changed my air filter 3 months ago on my 2003 Highlander and just started seeing the Check Engine Light today. OBD-II code reader said trouble at P0441, 442, 446. I'm puzzled why the light wouldn't have come on sooner. I looked today for the disconnected hose and BINGO, there it was. Reconnected the hose and now waiting to see what happens. You have a new subscriber. Thanks again.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Glad you found and fixed yours. Another victory for DIY!

[@ReesBeBallin69]

You are the man! I got check engine light for my 2000 Camry/Solara and got codes p0440 and p0446. Redid my air filter not too long ago too and when I checked that little plug it was just hanging!! Saved me so much time & $$. KZbin saves all. Thanks a lot man

[@evilutiongaming3392]

wow, just had oil changed and check engine light came on. code said p0441. Had been looking into this for hours until stumbling onto this video!!!!!! Thanks for your service to all!

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Was it the same problem where the vacuum line had come off?

[@TheTinkphilophobia]

I am so mad! I have put aside 500 to fix those codes... to find this was it -.- Thank you!!! Seriously thank you!!

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Glad it helped. Money better spent elsewhere.

[@gpabui5256]

A big THANK YOU to the author. This is the best video that shows me where is the vacuum hose (tracking down from VSV = Vacuum Switch Valve). I watched at least 10 videos before this and none guided me to the vacuum hose. Yes, last month I changed the air filter in my RX300 and then BAM! (just like you said), I got the check engine light on. I followed other videos to change: gas cap (easiest & lowest cost $11 at Pep Boys) to the whole evap system (near the gas tank for $360 bought thru Amazon). After each fix. I used my OBD II to clear the car computer and turn the check engine light off. However, twice check engine light turned back on after every 100 miles. Finally, I was lucky to come across your video and found my vacuum hose was loose. I think this 3rd fix will cure the problem for good. Note: My car is RX300 not Highlander (but all-in-all are in the same Toyota corp's design) but your verbal instruction is so clear + the video guided each step so I found the vac hose with no problem.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

I am pleased as punch that this was helpful and that you had a successful resolution. I am sure that it was disheartening when the light came back on after each previously attempted fix. Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it.

[@keithcaldwell7187]

You are a Rockstar my friend! Saved me hours in the shop and money on parts. Just checked and had the exact same issue on my 2002 Highlander. Thank you so much for pointing this out. I really appreciate it!

[@Lylemac59]

Awesome. My wife's car is this exact same vehicle. 2002 Toyota Highlander. We had it serviced a month ago and after a short time, the check engine light came on. I looked all over the engine compartment and found nothing wrong. So I finally bought a cheap code reader. Checked it this morning and those same codes came up. So I typed in the code here on KZbin and sure enough...your video came up. I went out to the car and there it was...the hose was not attached. Thank you sir.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

[@BMox1313]

Your the man! Check engine light came on tonight and I reset it with my reader. Got home and saw this video. Checked my hoses and BAM! You were dead on with this one. Same year, make, model and location of the culprit hose. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief! Thanks dude!

[@TheDonShowcase]

Had the same thing happen to me. Wow, great video. Mine was a tiny hose, one side came off, the other side has the VSV was loose. The plastic holding the VSV is also broke so its hanging by the hoses and the electrical connection. 2002 Lexus IS300. Thumbs up

Great job. Quick fix. Saved me a trip to the mechanic and likely getting ripped off. My 2002 Toyota Highlander has been throwing these codes for months.

[@rayrayestep]

Thanks for posting! have a 2003 Highlander with codes 441, 442, 446. O Reilly was great with codes and print out, then began researching. Began thinking of what's been done to car lately (gas fill up, oil change, etc) and if one of those incidents could have caused the codes. Sure ennough, had oil change 1 week ago and guy tried to sell me air filter based on my dirty one he pulled. Putting air filter back in he missed a hose that got disconnected when pulling air filter cover off. Hose is back on, all is good now. Def check simple/low cost things first!

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Excellent success story!

[@richardbeatty5309]

Thanks for this. My 2001 Highlander had this same issue, same three codes. In my case it was the TOP end of the hose that was loose, but it was the same hose. I had some work done - BY TOYOTA - just before this happened so I can only conclude that it was the Toyota service guys who left me with this problem... which is what I pay extra to take it to Toyota service to AVOID!

[@jacksonchin2788]

Had codes 441, 442 and 446 on a 2003 Highlander and found the open vacuum hose as shown, but it was on the other side of the hose. Thank you. 5 min. fix., reset the error codes.

[@MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio]

Thanks so much for this! I knew about it, and it had happened before, but it had been so long since it happened that I couldn't for the life of me remember where the hoses that typically get dislodged were.

[@GustavPetruskeIII]

Thanks for sharing, I also had the same PO441 code after checking the filter. I just took a look, and low and behold that hose was not connected. I just reconnected it and we'll see if it fixes it the code. I have a smog upcoming, and from what I've read it could either be a hose, gas cap, or other type of leak that would be somewhat costly to diagnose & repair. Worse if it is in fact the canister they are talking about a $600-1K fix. Let's hope it was just the hose :)

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Gustav Petruske III Like you, when I researched my P0441 code, I also read lots of potentially scary and costly causes. If you found and repaired a disconnected vacuum hose, you most likely have resolved the issue. You should know within a day of driving after clearing your codes. The check engine light should remain off.

I had my air filter and my break light replaced 3 months ago on my 2002 highlander. check engine light recently came on and that same break light is off again. I bet the wire on the light is loose (I watched a video on how to fix it) or the pipe on the air filter box is out. will check both now.. thank you.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

We also have a 2002 Highlander. The brake lights tend to go out as if the bulbs are bad. But, the connectors can get dirty so that they do not make a good connection. Cleaning those up where they mount to the body can help and using some dielectric grease on the contacts.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Remember that a code doesn't tell you want's wrong. It just tells you what the effect is of what's actually wrong. So, you or your mechanic will need to go through the proper diagnostic procedures to determine what the actual cause is for the codes that you're seeing. There are quite a few things that can cause the above codes. So, nobody can tell you for sure without performing systematical diagnostics. I wish I had a crystal ball that would do that.

[@tonycoffee7335]

Good video, my 05 corolla has a p0441 code. I have had the purge valve replaced, carbon canister and gas cap. The light still comes on. What is going on ....

[@WorseThanChiggers]

I suggest finding a qualified mechanic who will first diagnose the problem and determine which component is at fault rather than throwing expensive parts and labor at it in hopes that it might solve the problem. A qualified technician who knows how to observe and interpret the live data stream from the computer would more likely resolve the issue successfully. Matt has a great channel here that uses this scientific philosophy. Too bad so many pros don't observe it. kzbin.info

how long does it take for the light to go off? I just put the tube back together and hoping that was the problem

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Give it 2 or 3 days with several drive cycles and it should go off on its own. Or, I've been told that you can probably disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour and that'll clear it. Hope that helps!

[@whateverz-876]

Another occaisional fix is to screw your GAS CAP on super tight. Code still doesn't go away? Buy a brand new knock-off gas cap, $10. Still didn't go away? Get an good OEM one from a junkyard for $1, really making sure the GASKET is good. Still didn't go away? Get the Toyota one from the $tealership for $32. STILL didn't go away? Order a gas tank vapor pressure VSV solenoid for YOUR car, a knock-off one from China, $55 and three weeks of shipping. It's pretty cramped installing it down by the gas tank, though, so you'll need a super bright flashlight and jackstands. The dealership would have charged you $500 for that, though.

[@shannonelliott1972]

after the fix of these codes, does the check engine light need to be reset?

[@WorseThanChiggers]

+Shannon Elliott You can clear the codes to reset the check engine light immediately or wait for it to go out on its own after several driving cycles.

[@TheDonYG]

My car rumbled when I found out about my check engine light was blinking...is this usual when the light turns on? Can I easily fix this myself?

[@WorseThanChiggers]

What you describe as a rumble could mean many things. Your car's check engine light is telling you that something is wrong and it might be an easy DIY fix or could be something requiring professional help. The next step is connect an OBD2 code reader to the data port under the dashboard to read the trouble codes that are now stored in the car's computer. Only then will you know which components may be affected and where to begin diagnostic testing of those components.

[@3mori460]

Dude please help me. I have the same codes on my 01 Camry. I ran over a huge rode bump on a high speed and since then my car lost its torque and the check engine light popped up.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

If you have the same codes, check all of your vacuum hoses and your air intake hose. Something may have fallen off or cracked. Failing that, you'll need to delve deeper into diagnosing the cause for those codes.

Hey dude, Im having those same codes on my toyota celica 2000 and I cant find the issue. Please help me

[@WorseThanChiggers]

That combination of codes likely indicates a major vacuum leak. Was there some recent work done on the car that could give you a clue? Trace all the vacuum hoses and see if one has come loose. They can get old and split, too. Listening for a hissing noise might also lead you in the right direction. It could also be hidden problem like a ruptured brake booster diaphragm or, worse yet, an intake gasket leak.

[@dosisdiariadeinternet7666]

worsethanchiggers thank you for replaying !! there has not been any work done to the car. The codes appeared 3 days after putting gas. it has a celica gts injen air intake from the previews owner.

[@samserem1973]

hello.I'm Samson and my check engine pop up in the dash board and this problem persist even when I remove battery terminal. what is the cause and how can I resolve this problem.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Hi Samson. You will first need to read the codes or have someone do it for you to determine the cause of the check engine light. Only then will you be able to determine what test procedures need to be performed to diagnose the actual problem.

[@Purowalangkwenta]

will this work on a toyota prius 2010?

[@WorseThanChiggers]

A Prius is a totally different animal but it does have a small gasoline engine. So, it should have vacuum lines and the principles should be the same.

[@Purowalangkwenta]

I bought a scanner and checked it. It was P0401 on the code. I deleted it and the light went off. Got it at pep boys for $25. I hope it will pass the smog check since the light is off.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

It will most likely fail the smog test right now and I will explain why. Right after clearing the codes with a scanner/code reader, you must put the car through several drive cycles. The number, type, and duration of drives cycles will vary and is hard to predict but plan on at least 3 of some distance over the course of several days just to be sure. The computer needs time to see enough sensor data to reset the readiness monitors in case it needs to throw codes and turn on the check engine light. If you go too soon to get your smog test, the testing station will see that not all of the readiness monitors have had time to reset and you will be turned away. Just understand that deleting the codes with a scanner does not eliminate the fault that caused the check engine light to come on in the first place. Your P0401 indicates that you have a malfunction with the EGR system which you will need to have remedied first.

[@Purowalangkwenta]

worsethanchiggers Thank you so much. I will do my smog next week. I might add some cleaning additives on the tank as well. Hopefully it will pass.

OH! Did you notice he put the filter back in UPSIDE DOWN?

[@WorseThanChiggers]

Wow and thanks! You're very observant. I didn't catch that subtlety in my final edits to the scene. If you look closely, there are 2 cuts between removing the filter and reinstalling it which is when I discovered the error in my ways. I cut out the bit where I flipped it back over. The pursuit of perfection never ends.

This is exactly what happened with my car, the same car as in the video, and with the same codes, but the check engine light has not gone out on its own, and still on.

[@WorseThanChiggers]

+Олeжек If you do not have a code reader to clear the codes and turn off the light, you can just wait a few days and it should turn off on its own after several drive cycles. Or, just disconnect the battery cable for 15 minutes.

[@kredit787]

They couldn't clear the codes at the parts store, so I figured driving might clear the codes. I've driven the car several times by now, but not sure if the cycles were registered by the car computer as complete hot and cold cycles. Several times could mean 3, 4, 5 times or more?

[@WorseThanChiggers]

3-5 times of driving varying distances should have been enough to turn off the light. Of course, that assumes that you have resolved all of the reasons for the light coming on in the first place and there aren't any other issues throwing codes. If the light is still on, you'll need to read the codes again to see what else needs to be addressed.

Finally went out after about 3-5 times. That clamp on the hose needed a replacement. Thanks a lot!
