I have a Chevy cavalier 2003 the check engine light came on and when i scanned it i got a code of p44o the freeze frame data indicated it was an evaporation emission fault i need direction as to what system to check for the fault codes solution

When the check engine light in your 2003 Dodge Neon blinks 10 times, it's indicating a specific issue. Let's explore some possibilities:

Engine Misfire: A flashing check engine light often points to an engine misfire. This can lead to rough idling, reduced power, and poor fuel efficiency. You might want to check the ignition system, spark plugs, and fuel injectors.

Fuel System: Inspect the fuel system for any issues. Ensure proper fuel pressure, clean fuel injectors, and no clogs in the fuel lines.

Catalytic Converter Problem: A malfunctioning catalytic converter could trigger this warning. It's essential for emissions control.
Oxygen Sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor can affect fuel mixture and emissions. Replacing it might be necessary.

EGR Valve: A dirty or faulty EGR valve can impact engine performance. Cleaning or replacing it could resolve the issue.

To pinpoint the exact problem, I recommend using an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the trouble code. Once you have the code, you'll be better equipped to address the issue. If you're unsure, consider visiting an auto parts store or a mechanic for a diagnostic scan

Start by checking the ETCS fuse in the engine room fuse box. If it's good, you may have an open circuit between the fuse box and ECM.

Is there a check engine light? if so a data scan can give you a little better idea. need a start point as to the malfunction. any gas in it. or fuel pump failure?

Pull up the error codes and freeze frame data to repair the problem.
Tentatively it could be due to the malfunction of VTEC or Vehicle speed sensor.

you PCM has spot a problem in the engine control system.you have bad sensor or EVAP leak or cylinder misfire.any auto parts store will code scan vechicle see what cause check engine light to flash on.they will code scan vechicle free go by auto zone.

well i would scan the ecm to see what has trigured the code. ..Make sure its notging serious...,request freeze frame data. ..this can be done at autozone etc....please post the code thanks...

CHEVROLET DTC P1601 - Serial Comm. Problem With Device 1

The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.

The UART serial data circuit must be OK so the IPC can send the password XXXXX to the PCM. A DTC P1601 being set would indicate that the UART serial data circuit cannot be used to send information and causing the P1629 also.

An IPC theft deterrent DTC being set would indicate that the Passlock System is faulty and not sending a password XXXXX the PCM. Additional information can be found in Accessories and Optional Equipment / Antitheft and Alarm Systems. See Accessories and Optional Equipment\Antitheft and Alarm Systems

After any Passlock System parts have been replaced, the PCM must relearn the password XXXXX these components.

Replacement PCM's must be reprogrammed. Refer to the latest Techline information for programming procedures.

If no faults have been found at this point and no additional DTC's were set, refer to Diagnostic Aids for additional checks and information.

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

on board Computer has an emmission related code stored inside , The only way to easily retrive it is by using a scan tool

NEED TO CHECK THE CODES PROBABLE EMMISSIONS LEAK,GROSS OR SMALL,GO TO ADVANCE AND LET THEM SCAN FOR FREE

go to autoparts store and use their scanner to scan the computer and get the code. you may have to wait until you can catch it back on again. You can try resetting the computer by disconnecting battery for 30 minutes and see if that works first
