Default Check engine light and code P0042

My check engine light came on and after checking the codes I have a curent code of P0442, after checking the code list I'm unable to find this code. Anyone familiar with what this is?

Small Leak in Evap system. Have you left the gas cap loose lately?

Woops! Wrong Code, I meant to write code # P0442, Don't think I've left the gas cap loose, but if I had, how would I get the light to turn off?
