Hello,

The code P0442 can get triggered for any type of small leak in the EVAP system. From a leaky gas cap to a cracked hose to a bad purge valve.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached the trouble shooting steps for that code below. This can help you with the diagnostics.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
