Error Code - P0442 = Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (medium leak)

Answer - A 0.040 leak has been detected in the evaporative system. (A faulty gas cap may cause this code). Also see TSB 25-001-02A. Note: The respective Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures Manual will direct the technician to determine if the vehicle evaporative system has an external system leak. Examples of some external system leaks are: a loose gas cap, a disconnected evaporative system hose, or a loose hose connection. Remember that the evaporative system may also have an internal system leak. This internal leak may be caused by an intermittent or permanently stuck open Duty Cycle Purge (DCP) valve. This leak source is considered to be internal because any escaping emissions enter into the engine system and not directly into the atmosphere, unlike an external leak. An internal leak may cause one of the above DTC?s. Possible causes of a stuck open (intermittent or permanent) DCP valve are: 1. Corrosion due to system moisture or possible water intrusion into the system.

(A bad gas cap seal and or your gas cap not being tightened is usually the cause, but more serious issues can result)


Error Code - P0533 = A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input

Answer - A/C pressure sensor input above the maximum acceptable voltage

(Essentially, too much power is being pushed to this, bad wiring, short, fuses, etc)
