Re: OBD Code 0442 Means ...

0442 means the tank pressure either bled off too fast or showed vacuum or pressure and didn't change when the PCM ran an EVAP test.

I believe you have to erase the code once it lights the money lamp.

Loading the parts cannon is the expensive way to fix it.

The gas cap could be the problem or maybe not. Mine turned out to be the tank pressure sensor.
I went through the troubleshooting steps in my build thread.
