Engine Light - P0444 & P0422

[AnushaS]

Hi all,

I have an accent 2000 1500cc manual car. Three weeks back check engine indication appeared but nothing was unusual.But i wanted to get it scanned and after scanning (error codes were P0444 & P0422) got to know that It was someting to do with the purge valve, which was then cleaned by a mechanic at a leading gurage in nugegoda. After doing everything light didnt come up for about another 100km+.Again the light appeared after about 100km,still nothing was unusual. when the car was taken to the same gurage a different mechanic without scanning cleaned the Air flow sensor and erased the code by removing the battery terminals. This incident happened a week ago. Apparently on today again the light appeared after about another 150-160km. Could anyone advise what could be done to rectify this issue. (still nothing is unusual on the car).

Clean the MAF.

Is there a difference between AF sensor and MAF sensor?

Yeah.....there is a difference, the latter has an "M" at the beginning!

If cleaning hasn't worked it's possible you might have to replace the sensor.
