Need to reset the computer codes to the emission sensors on a 2008 Hyundai Sonata

Mechanic didn't pass the emissions because couldn't register the codes for the sensors to the catalytic converter

What mechanic?

Inspection Stations have no mechanics

A state licenced repair shop wouldn't have an problem
with that.

They would make the repair & move on to pass the vehicle

No one understands, there is no resetting codes, as a fix
for anything. If that was the case, the mechanic would have done so

You can clear them & then they come back, or you
have no data to diagnose the reason they came on

A car is in no way related to window 7 or any computer
technolgy. The car has a processor called an ECM or PCM

The evaporative emissions system prevents hydrocarbon (HC) vapors from the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere where they could form photochemical smog. Gasoline vapors are collected in the charcoal canister. The Canister Closing Valve (CCV) closes off the air inlet into the canister for leak detection of the evaporative emission system. The CCV also prevents fuel vapors from escaping from the canister. When the engine purges the HC vapors from the canister, the clean air comes into the canister through the canister air-filter and the CCV.

1. Ignition "OFF". 2. Disconnect CCV connector. 3. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the CCV connector(Component side). Specification : Approx. 23~26Ω at 20°C(68°F)
4. Is resistance within the specification? YES ▶ Go to next step as below. NO ▶ Check CCV for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good CCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace CCV and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.Terminal and Connector Inspection

Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

SOURCE: 01 sonata gls v6...code po455, po442. what are

If you have an EVAP leak, you will get the following codes:

1. P0442 evap emission control system leak (small).
2. P0455 evap emission control system leak (large).

If these codes come up, you need to trace the leak. The most common place for the systems to leak besides the gas cap is at the service port under the hood, the hoses at the purge solenoid, and the hoses around the fuel tank. Check all your EVAP hoses from under the hood , all the way back to the gas tank. You can repair a split hose easily. Buy some 14.5mm EVAP hose at the auto parts store. Just cut the split or cracked section out and attach the new hose.

I can only say that u must fix the code issue and light to pass state emission test, if u reset the light they will know, the system will tell the tester that the system is not ready, this will cause a fail.

SOURCE: Code P0300 and tach is dropping but engine speed is not

I researched your problem and couldn't find any Service Bulletins or Recalls or Campaigns related to it. It seems, you'll have to take it into a Hyundai Service Center and pay the diagnostic fee to find out what's wrong. They'll give you an estimate of repairs (parts, labor, tax, time-frame, etc.) You can decide what you want to do then.
By the way, the symptom you describe could be fuel, electrical or both.

I have 6 cyl 03 ford ranger, check engine light came on and had it read and code says po422 EVAP, any help would be appreciated

The catalytic converter is no longer functioning properly
An oxygen sensor is not reading (functioning) properly
There is an exhaust leak

Sometimes simply resetting the code is all you need to do. Many codes will reset themselves over time. What the person meant was that in normal driving the code may reset itself. You don't need to waste your time or fuel driving nowhere to attempt to reset the code.

Personally, here is what I would do if I were you. If the place in Texas where you are moving to does not require emissions testing, do nothing for now. If the car seems to be running normally the code may reset itself. If Texas requires emissions testing you will need to have the problem addressed or the car will not pass emissions. Bring the car to a reputable independent mechanic for repairs. If it is your catylitic converter expect some sticker shock as these can be expensive. Hope this helps, Please rate this!!! :) James Booth

Emissions test comes up not ready - can't pass inspection

Under the hood, there is a fuse block. I believe it is on the driver's side of your vehicle. Open that box, and pull the "ECU" fuse. Leave the fuse out for at least 5 minutes. Put the fuse back in, start the car, and let it idle for at least another 5 minutes. Do not drive the car, touch the gas, or even look at the gas pedal for these 5 minutes, as the ECU is remapping itself. This will properly reset the ecu and clear the codes. After this you may drive the car.
