The code means the computer has tried to vent the gas tank and has found a small leak in the vent system.
You may need to research the code to get the testing procedure for your model and year.

A P0442 code means Evaporative Emission Control System Small Leak Detected. This means there is a fuel vapor leak in the EVAP control system. It also means it is a very small leak. The leak could be as tiny as 0.04 inches in diameter. A loose or cracked gas cap can cause this code. Even an aftermarket gas cap, one that is not from the car's manufacturer can cause a P0442 code. It can also be from a small leak or hole in a fuel vapor hose, tube or O-ring. Try removing and replacing the gas cap. If you are mechanically inclined, try inspecting the hoses, tubes, and O-rings. You may also want to take your car to an auto repair shop.

SOURCE: oil change procedure on a 2005 Hyundai elantra

This one is simple

1. Remove dip stick and filler cap.
2. Remove oil plug from oil pan and drain oil into an appropriate pan.
3. Remove and replace oil filter. (Filter will drain oil, just be aware to try and get it into the pan.
4. Refill oil. Start with 3.5 quarts, put cap and dip stick back on and start car, wait about 10 seconds and then turn off.
5. Check your dipstick for proper oil level.

And thats it you are done.

SOURCE: need fil for error code P2626 Hyundai Elantra GLS

P2626 O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit/Open (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

I'll sure this has to do with a faulty O2 sensor. This sensor is usually located around the header of your car, or down more on your exhaust.

Try disconnecting your battery for 30 mins, hook it back up, and start your car again. This will erase the error. See if it comes in again.

Hope this help (remember rated this post).

SOURCE: Hyundai Sonata 2006 - Check Engine light came on.

"Fuel system too lean at idle". It's an air/fuel ratio that is not correct, possibly a vacuum leak somewhere. Or a leaky exhaust pipe. Could be related to intake manifold gasket. Somewhere, air is getting into the engine.

I suggest taking it back to the dealer under warranty. I think Hyundai is 10yr./100k for the original owner. 5yr./50k if not. Ask first if covered, and ask why not id not covered.

Having the same problem the other guy described.

First of all, these codes are what are called "Powertrain Trouble Codes' (that's what the "P" means P=Powertrain). TCM Request (Transmission Control Module = TCM). The request was to turn on the 'Check Engine" light.
P0720 - output speed sensor circuit malfunction
P0715 - Input speed sensor (turbin speed) circuit malfunction
P0442 - Evaporative Emission System Leak (Small Leak)
P0455 - Evaporative Emission System Leak (Large Leak)
Check fuel filler cap problems - for Evap Emiss leaks
Replace the pulse generators & have the trans fluid replaced/flushed.
The Main Catalyst System Efficiency Bank 1 Is P0420, not P0442
If you had P0420 code, the catalytic converter is shot... and that's an expensive component.

Check engine light on,running rough code P0172

When I see all these codes i instantly think of two things. Vacuum leak especially intake manifold gaskets and Mass air flow sensors. Spray the engine with carb cleaner when its running and see if you get it to rev up,run rough or run different. Next unplug the MAF and drive the car, see if it runs normal.

I got a 1999 Hyundai Elantra Station wagon 4 Cil. 2.0 and I got a coputer analisis with the troubleshooting P0442 and I willlike to know what it means, how I can to know what I have to do?

According to my book, it is a evap system small leak detected. Usually a loose or faulty gas cap. Is the car running good? Check your gas cap, erase the code and see if the code comes back. Good luck. Phil
