THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT THE SAME WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AND AT LEAST THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN TOLD I HAVE "SPIDER WEBS IN MY CANNISTER". ( I DRIVE MY CAR DAILY---DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING). THE COMPUTER CODES, THIS TIME AROUND, ARE: P1446 AND P0325. DIAGNOSIS: "NEEDS VENT CONTROL VALVE AND CANNISTER" " FOUND SPIDER WEBS IN CANNISTER AND MIGHT NEED NEW ONE IN FUTURE." I'VE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS, BUT THE SAME WARNING LIGHT WITH AN EASY FIX (THEY SAID THEY WIPED OUT THE WEBS) INDICATES THAT SOMETHINS IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
