I have a 1999 C230 Kompressor. Yesterday I was driving and the Check Engine Light (CEL) came on. I took it to Auto Zone (AZ) today and borrowed one of their OBD II Scanners.

The scanner came up with error code P0446 (EVAP Emission Control System Vent Circuit Malf).

It said the following on the tool:

1st - Purge or Vent Solenoids defective

2nd - Possible blockage in vapor canister or EVAP line

3rd - Check connector and wiring

4th - Refer to AZ Commercial Preferred customer

I cleared out the code and it didn't come back on yet. Any idea what this error code means, and if I need to get something replaced.

Thanks!
Sean
