I had a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo that developed this problem. My dealership literally told me they couldn't fix it and that I would have to live with the check engine light being on all the time. This while it was under warranty. Technically I think the CEL is because of a "three strikes" condition. If a minor code is detected three times in a row it turns the CEL light on after the 3rd one.
P044200 Error Code
We have a 2021 Seltos with 3500 miles on it. We recently got a check engine light and through the UVO app the error code is P044200. From an internet search:
P0442 is present in vehicles that have a small leak in the EVAP system. The ECU carefully monitors the EVAP system for any leaks or irregularities, when a small leak is detected the ECU set a Check Engine Light to be displayed on the dashboard.
What causes the P0442 code?

What causes the P0442 code?
- Faulty or loose fuel cap
- EVAP system line leak
- Charcoal canister leak
- Fuel tank leak
- Failed vent or purge valve

They finally replaced the purge control valve and gas cap and the problem is fixed. It was at the dealer for 2 weeks for them to finally determine the cause and fix it. I'm not sure if we weren't a priority since we didn't purchase the car at this dealer but this dealer is 15 miles closer to my home.
