@CashNYC says:

P1441 code is the same thing?

@Matt00084 says:

I'm getting the same code. I replaced my vent control valve on the evap canister. I replace the purge solenoid under the hood. I don't see any cracks in any hoses. Do you know where the Pressure sensor is located on a 2006 Nissan, altima, 3.5? I was looking up diagrams and I believe it is in between the gas tank and the charcoal canister, but it's so hard to see up in there. Wanted to know if you knew exactly where it's located

I've been dealing with a squeal back there when I'm stopping and my idle drops and sometimes shuts off. I replaced the purge valve under the car but it did it again so I'm thinking its this EVAP CANISTER thing.

Very informative, thank you for the video!

I recently had a P0448 (Vent Control Valve) on my 2012 Xterra. Had that fixed at the Nissan Dealer. A week later, I'm getting a P0442. Already replaced the gas cap. Per your suggestions, will check the hoses and the purge valve. Great video. Maybe it'll save me some $$. Thanks!

I have this code on my 350z but I got the PS pressure sensor code as well

@mishahlamazda5812 says:

Have this issue on my 2014 frontier – if I find a crack in one of the hoses is there anything I can use to patch it, or must it be replaced? I’m going to go look right now
