I am getting this same code on my 2008 Ford Edge, the code was read for us at Auto Zone. I'm reading that it may be due to a simple gas cap problem, also had a friend tell me that the fuel tank pressure sensor may have been "poisoned" (his word) with gasoline, and that the problem will clear up in a week or two on its own. I've tried resetting the gas cap securely (it was definitely loose) and restarting the vehicle about 8 times to see if the code would clear on its own, but it hasn't. If it WAS the gas cap, will the code clear on its own, or does it need to be reset using the reader? And was I given good advice regarding the potential cause being a poisoned fuel tank pressure sensor? Should I want a couple of weeks before bringing it in. Obviously, I'm trying to avoid paying $130 for the diagnostic reading at the dealer if possible, but don't want to wait and damage the vehicle through inaction. Thanks!
