Yeah, it almost has to be a bad vent solenoid, or a broken connection in the wiring to it. This code is saying that the PCM is not seeing the voltage change when it grounds the vent solenoid to activate it.
Should have system voltage at one terminal with the ignition on, and a ground at the other terminal when the PCM commands the vent valve open.

P0449 says that the PCM is not seeing the voltage potential it wants to see when the vent valve is off or commanded on. I would suspect it is the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Canister Vent Solenoid near or on top of the gas tank is bad. To make sure check the voltage at the pink wire. It should be around 12 volts. If it is low, it may be bad wiring or the PCM, but not likely. if you have 12 volts suspect the solenoid.

How do you fix the code p0449 yourself?
on 2006 c/k 1500 series gm trucks, the evaporative emissions vent valve solenoid is in front of the evap cannister underthe driverside of the truck. a 13mm socket will remove the bracket that holds it in, then you need a couple of small picks to take out the plastic clip that holds the hose on, and unplug the two-wire plug, and Viola!
