Location of the canister (left) and an example of a bent bracket (right).
This bulletin applies to 2013-2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport/RVR vehicles equipped with a 3.0L engine. The vent solenoid bracket attached to the evaporative canister may be susceptible to bending and may cause DTC P0442 to be stored in the ECM.
During DTC troubleshooting, a visual inspection of the vent solenoid bracket may assist in diagnosis. Also, inspect the hose clamps around the canister for the correct position. If any of these conditions are present, repositioning the parts may correct the issue. You can force the monitor to run with MUT-III to determine if the repair was effective.
