Hi. The code P2422 is an "EVAP canister vent shut valve close malfunction" code and is a manufacturer code that needs a little diagnosing before it can be replaced. If you need further assistance, I recommend you have a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, diagnose the trouble code and replace any failing parts.
