CEL codes

Feb 07, 2004 2 Replies

On my 2001 OBS w/ 45k miles, the CEL is lit and Auto Zone found the following codes:



P1443, Evaporative emission control system vent control function problem (The clerk said he got this twice.) P1507, Idle control system malfunction (fail-safe)



Are these likely to be under warranty? The car seems to be running OK right now, gas mileage is normal.

The 1443 could be from not tightening the gas cap. Soobs seem very sensitive to this - on my OBW I 'lean' in on the cap and make it click

8-10 times. 2-3 clicks doesn't seal it reliably. Could also be the canister purge valve I guess or -well- something else! ;^)

The other could be 2-3 things I guess. I suspect it might be a warranty item. (IAC or temp sensor?)

if better info doesn't show up here post over on the bds. at

Both those codes denote warrantable problems. Typically the P1443 code is not a "gas cap" code, that would be a P0440 or P0442.
