Code P1442 Lincoln Description

This diagnosis detects leaks in the Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) purge line using an engine intake manifold vacuum. If pressure does not increase, the Engine Control Module (ECM) will check for leaks in the line between the fuel tank and EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve under the following vacuum test condition.
The vacuum cut valve bypass valve is opened to clear the line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve.

After this depressurization is implemented, the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve will be closed.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the EVAP control system has a small leak such as the loose fuel filler cap, the EVAP control system does not operate properly.
