Hey guys need some advice on another code!(P0442) Resolved
P0442: evaporative emission system leak (small leak)
This is what came up with the same code pending. I am not sure what to look for, gascap maybe? Can anyone shed some light on this? This getting a little frustrating this is my second code in a month! Dean |
This code is very common. Do a search in this forum with the code and you'll see all sorts of good troubleshooting info.

Most likely problem will be a faulty gas cap.
|
Is it possible that the code is actually p0442?

Ok I hope its that simple I'm gonna call the dealer and try and get one I cleared the code twice and it came back within a day. My wifes Eclipse did this once and it was the gas cap but I do not remember if it was the same code. The search will not come up with anything if I just pop in P0422 and I have tried different combos with words and just "codes/codes" Dean |

No worries. And it probably IS the gas cap. "Small" can mean "very very small"...

What year is the car?

The reason I asked is because S Type had some changes with gas tanks and canister clove valves and things. 07 S Type has whats called a DTML pump (diagnostic monitoring of tank leakage) pump and a COV (change-over valve) into one module).
P0442Leak detected. 40 thou.

A fuel filler cap can cause a p0442 but it would most likely cause a p0455 gross leak (large leak). The dealership would perform a DTML test with SDD but I would first check gas cap and if tight then check both left and right fuel tank ports. To do this, removed back seat by sliding little black tabs to the drivers side of the car. 2 black tabs located front of the back seat under leather. slide tabs and lift up. Then lift up insulation with seat removed and you will see 2 black round covers, removed covers. Then you will see fuel tank ports. Look for signs of fuel leakage. Or you can erase codes and see if they come back. If you have anymore questions then post reply. Have a good day and God bless.

I can see the OP's car details at the bottom of his posts but in pale grey. Not sure if that shows up on all devices and screens (?) |
I replaced my aftermarket gas cap 3k miles ago with a Jag OEM part and so far it has corrected my P0442 code issue.
|
The "joy" of the more recent car being increased sophistication & detection of a tiny leak. Oh :(
|
Ok guys here is an UPDATE
Went to the Jag Dealer and bought a new fuel cap ($24.00) and no code for 2 days! They look identical although the seal on the original was not as tight as the new one but so far so good. Thanks for all the help! Dean |
