DTC 1457: Leak Detected in EVAP Control System(Evap control canister system)

 

If you just put your system in, I would bet this is a flase code. I would reset the SRS light and see if it re trips. I bet it probably is ok. Do a search on resetting the SRS light and do the paperclip reset routine....

Post back if the light stays out or not.

 

make sure you get acoul-le clicks out of your gas cap when tightining it. it wasns you right on the gas cap to make sure you do or you will geta check engine light

 

A loose cap will code a p1456 for leak tank side.
p1457 is leak canister side.
Usually the cause that I have seen is an over filled gas tank which saturates the two-way valve and bypass solenoid. If thats the case just replace these two.

 

how does one go about replacing this and where can i getthe parts, how much?

 

The two way valve and bypass solenoid are under the car left side by rear door.
You should see a black box and small hoses and wires going twards it.
If you remove the two-way valve and bypass solenoid and fuel comes out, it was saturated and bad.
I'd say around $70 from the dealer and it comes with two sets of "o" rings.

 

When we bought my wife's Turbo Beetle, the salesman gave us a 'tour' of the car, pointed out all the features, etc. The two service related items he stressed, because at least at this dealership, they were the most common reason people came back in for CHECK ENGINE service were; (1) People who did not tighten the gas cap and (2) People trying to nurse an extra gallon into the tank causing the problem that's the topic of this thread. His advice was to fill the tank until the nozzle shuts off the first time and quit fueling. I've been following this advice on all our vehicles ever since.

 

I had a 1457 last year in my '99 TL....turned out to be the cannister was saturated (as posted above, topping off over the limit ain't a good idea). Took it to a Honda dealer (no local Acura dealer) and had it replaced because I don't like playing with gas, about $200 total. You're right, the car will run fine, but it won't pass an emissions test.

 

Its kinda funny that its on after you put a system in. Just try to reset the srs light. There was a post on how to do that through some wires and your fuse box. Try a search for srs and see if you can reset it.
