the problem is the pressure transducer is creating an intermittent signal to the PCM.
corroded connectors or the in tank sensor. this is an example of what one owner had done at THE DEALERSHIP ..
I have a 2009 Silverado Crew Cab LS 5.3L with a check
engine lt on again for the third time since March 8, 2010. First it was a P0454, where the dealership replaced the fuel tank pressure sensor because it was severely corroded. The mileage was 31,971. The next time the
check engine light came on was July 4, 2011. This time a code P0449 came up. The dealership said the fuel tank vent solenoid was not venting and they needed to install a new
vent solenoid kit. was 69,532 this time and this was not covered under the emissions warranty nor the power train warranty. I was a little ticked since this was an emissions code. Needless to say I paid them to replace it, $481.22 later. Not a week goes by and the light comes on again(July 17, 2011). This time a P0442 code comes up saying there is a small leak in the EVAP System. I am checking the work done by the dealership and will let you know the outcome. Obviously GM has a big problem with their
fuel venting systems on various makes and models. I am a loyal Chevy Man but getting very frustrated with these problems on a truck that's not even 2 1/2 years old yet.
