I will re-confirm this info tomorrow, but I believe the P1447 code refers to a loss of vacuum pressure in the fuel vapor lines between the engine, fuel tank, collection tank (charcoal canister) and the Fuel Evaporation pump. Could be gas cap, lines, or pump itself leaking.

Options: Put a new fuel cap on (OE only, as most are not a correct fit). Clear codes. Does the code return? In how short a period? One week- when the temp gets hot (mine!), only when you overfill the fuel tank? Right away? Etc, etc
The results will send you down a path to check other areas, lines, connections and replacing the pump itself as required. Can anyone confirm if the other type of diagnotic software will activate and test the Evap control pump for deeper insight on what is setting off the code?

Helpful?
