Ach new car now comes with OBD II - On-Board Diagnostics-2. This error is a system of registration for all sensors on the car, the engine, fuel and emissions. If the arrival of the engine light comes on, it can mean many things. There are something like 4000 single OBD2 code, which can be stored. Handheld OBD2 diagnostic tools can be caught in the midst of OBD2 port, as a rule, below on the driver's side. These tools, you can error code and / or the system does not contain code. Codes are divided into two categories - historical / inactive and active. The history of code lists are things that have been detected in the past, but are not a matter of addition, while assets codes are things that a problem at the moment. Codes are divided into different codes (body) B, C-code (chassis), and the largest list of all - P-codes (drive motor).
P0440 OBD II Code. This is the code that you will find in most cases, and this is the first thing you need to check. P0440 is the code for Evaporative Emission Control System errors covers a multitude of sins. The only thing that concerns you, you can Gas Cap (Cap gasoline). Most new cars have a fuel pressure and vapor recovery loop. If you filled with petrol and gas is not twisted the cap until it clicks, you do not sealed fuel consumption. It is not under pressure and the OBD2 is a system logger code P0440. Indeed, a quantity of cars, so that the code is distributed, they have several ways to tell you of the gas distribution for the hat. The Honda Element, for example when a code P0440 is on the verge scrolls "CHECK GAS CAP" in the odometer display. So if you have a check engine light comes on, it is the first gas-cap to see if the light goes out. Note: Although the fire was extinguished, the code will perhaps remain in the OBD system, and will show the next time it is activated.
It was not gas. If a strengthening of the supply of gas, Cape have not done so, you need to find someone with the OBD2 diagnostic tools or readers. Some garages are just insertion into the camera and reads the code for you. When they do, within walking distance. Theyre ripping you, because there are a large number of sites it free -. In America, in particular, the chain Schuck free diagnostic checks (Checker, neck, Murray's, advance). In Britain, I am not sure about that - if you know, I wrote a few lines. The alternative, if you are in preserving your own vehicles to be purchased, it is a drive, and do it yourself.
