Check for the following conditions:
Cracked or punctured EVAP canister.
Damaged source vacuum line, EVAP purge line, EVAP
vent hose or fuel tank vapor line.
Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness±Inspect the wiring harness to the
EVAP canister vent solenoid, EVAP canister purge
solenoid and the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
intermittent open or short circuit.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how oftenthe condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. If an EVAP canister vent solenoid or an EVAP
canister purge solenoid electrical fault is present,
the purge system will not operate correctly.
Repairing the electrical fault will very likely correct
the condition that set DTC P0442.
3. Checks the fuel tank pressure sensor at ambient
pressure.
4. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor accurately
reacts to EVAP system pressure changes.
