Did you gas up recently? It could be a loose gas cap. It could also be a restriction in the tank vent, or a malfunctioning vent valve.

The vent valve is #22 in the diagram below. A bad eletrical connection or valve could cause a P0446 code. An obstruction in any of the hoses leading to the canister or a plugged canister itself could also throw that code.
