Code PO446 fuel tank pressure sensor

Welcome to 2CarPros.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 3. If you look at picture 1, I highlighted the sensor you need to replace. It is mounted to the fuel pump assembly.

Here are the directions for replacement. Not included in the directions is disconnecting the negative battery terminal before starting. I recommend doing that. You don't want anything that can spark when you are working in this area.
