CEL codes

D

David R. Birch

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 www.usmb.net

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