A couple years back I bought a car code scanner just to see if my car had any codes. It had one for the EVAP sensor malfunctioning but I didn't get it fixed right away. A little while later I replaced the solenoid valve myself when I started to notice some engine sputtering but I didn't go back and clear the code.
I recently had my car in for repairs and they got the same code I did a couple years ago and said there's a problem with the EVAP sensor and I should replace the solenoid valve.
Is it possible they're seeing the same code I got a couple years back? i.e., if you don't manually clear the code does it just stay active and get picked up the next time someone scans it? If that's a possibility, then I should be able to clear the code and since I already replaced the solenoid it shouldn't come back, correct? (assuming it was the solenoid and/or it hasn't failed again)
