Re: Engine Code P 0442

Thanks, I did not know this. Today's trip was about 15 minutes each way.
Tomorrow to work and back will be a better run for this.

You have to physically reset the code, or wait for several (I think the
number is in the range of ~40) start-cycles for it to go out on it's own. It
will not have gone out by now, even if the gas cap was not secured when the
code came up.

Well I guess that is where I am then, off to the land of the 40. I'm up to
maybe 10 now....
Thanks.
I suppose physically setting the code is something I am not to do?

Re: Engine Code P 0442

Or you can disconnect the battery which will clear the error codes.
