I've never seen a canister go bad, chances are the gas cap was loose, you need a new gas cap or when you fulled up last you spilled a little fuel.
On some of the dodges if you just spill or a few drops of gas the light will come on, no bigey.

The light WILL NOT tell you what needs to be fixed. It tells you what system is not functioning properly. You should take it to a mechanic to have it properly diagnosed or get a service manual and with some testing and Internet help fix it your self.
You need to read more carefully.
I didn't say the light tells you what needs to be fix, I said the CODE READER will tell you what needs to be fixed.

The code reader does not really tell you WHAT needs to be fixed as much as it tells you which part of the system needs to be fixed. One part of the system may contain a half a dozen individual parts and if any single one alone malfunctions the same code will come on. Unless a person can read and understand the OBD11 schematic just having the code is often of little value to the average person...Now with the internet you can research the code and may be able to fix it yourself and save big money.

I read it just fine and my first post accurately reflects that!
Whenever I get a CEL pop up, I give it about a week. 90% of the time it goes off within that week, meaning it probably detected a single misfire or the gas cap wasn't tight enough.
Code 442 is most likely caused by a loose gas cap.
