Default Help, can somebody interpret the codes?

I got my own ODB 2. I had Check Engine Light on and this is what came up.
Can somebody interpret so I know what to do next?

Here's a list of generic codes.
OBD-II Check Engine Light Trouble Codes

I would clear the codes with your tool and see if they come back, then check the list which may give you some direction along with any other symptoms you are experiencing. Often the code can mean one of a number of possible problems.

Got it thanks.

I cleared the codes and they did not appear again so far.

I bet it was gas cap as I washed the car in minus 15 and than the temperature dropped to minus 25 overnight. So I poured alcohol on the gas cap to make sure that there is no water on it.

Also, when filling up, do not go more than one or two clicks past when it stops. In our cars, you will find this leads to problems and check engine lights for evap system and purge valve etc

What is with you and the alcohol and the temperature and the humidity?

Those codes are for your Evap and 02 sensor - clearing them will not make the problem solve itself.

We were the second coldest place on earth for 2 days and I washed the engine 1 day prior. Today we have the heatwave coming at minus 10.
I am glad that I made it through it. I cleared the codes and cleared ice on the electrical plugs and the problem is gone.

Ummm, actually we weren't. Yeah it was f'in cold but that was one website saying that. I believe we were like 48th coldest. We weren't even the coldest in Alberta.

Its already been proven that not only was Calgary NOT the second coldest place on earth, but it wasn't even the second coldest in Alberta. Calgary was actually 13th on the list of Alberta's Coldest cities.

Bow Valley, -38.8C.

But seriously, you come on here whining about humidy in the air, and yet you gave your car a Engine Shampoo in below freezing temperatures.. Give your head a shake.
