My check engine light is on. I went to auto zone to check it out. They said the code is P0332 evaporated emission system leak. What is this and how to fix it?

It is an emissions issue. First thing to check if for a loose or bad gas cap. you must hear at least three clicks after filling it up and putting back on. It will then have to have a scanner to remove code. If it comes back on it must be smoke tested by a local mechanic. The evaporator emission canister traps fuel vapor then releases it back into the engine after about 30 mph for emissions.

You must have that code number wrong. That is not what P0332 means. It refers to a knock sensor problem that doesn't even apply to that vehicle.

I went to AutoZone and they hooked up a reader to my fuse box and said the code was P0332 Evap Emission System Leak.
