Default Relates to evaporation emission control

Your codes hint a leak is on the fuel tank. It's pressurised and if it leaks it sets off the warnings. If you arent leaking fuel then its the pressure leaking. Your first look should be at the fuel filler cap. Is it sealing correctly. My suburban threw similar codes when I trapped the plastic retaining strip that stops you losing the filler cap underneath it when I screwed it in.....

the codes have set for a evap system leak. this system recovers and stores fuel vapours for burning in the engine at a later time.

the evap system is not pressurized and is a separate system from the pressurized fuel lines.
the 2 codes can be set by one common problem; a vent solenoid valve that won't close. Have someone test the valve.
