Toyota extended warranty

[lordm]

My 1998 camry (149K) had the check engine light on. It shows the code PO446.. My mechanic said that it was a problem with the vent solenoid. He also said that the car may come under toyota's extended warranty for evaporative systems. I was wondering how to check if my car qualifies for this warranty.. and what could be other problems associated with PO446. Also the fuel economy lately has been very poor. Is this due to the same problem?

i have a letter about the extended warranty for the evap systems and it says the warranty is good up to 140k miles. sorry to say you just missed the window of opportunity.

do a search "Toyota of America"... you call them and provide your VIN and they'll tell you if there is a recall or extended warranty for your car model.

i just found my letter. the extended warranty (at least on my car) is 14 years or 150k miles. suggestion: call ASAP.

I had this same problem. The VSV for the charcoal canister needs to be replaced.
This vsv is located by the gas tank. The dealer sells the VSV for around $50.

About the extended warranty I did hear about it but I dont know anything about it.

Here is the link to the EPA website regarding the settlement with Toyota. At the bottom of the first page is a link to the vehicles covered, including codes for the engine family and evaporative family. On the inside of your hood is a sticker that lists the codes for your particular car, which is basically all camrys between 1996 and the first three months of 1998. If your car code is on the list, you are covered for 14 years or 150K miles on the entire evap system, including the charcoal canister. I just got mine replaced free of charge last week, although the dealer was going to charge me until I showed him this website.
