P0442 and P0445 both indicate evaporative emission eontrol leaks. Essentially, too much gas vapor is getting out. For both codes, the most likely cause is a bad or missing gas cap. So replace it, clear the codes, and drive it a few days. See if it comes back.

Here are a couple of articles regarding: Evaporator

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
