Here i go up to autozone as suggested to get the code for a cel that keeps coming back. So get up there & i thought i knew where the port was, as i knew where it was on my 2003tls, but low & behold its in a different spot in my wifes car. Theres a sticker stating it is in the center consel behind a removable door. I'll be damned if i can find it. Wifes pissed cause i ended up marring up the plastic where i thought the port might be hidden. Can anyone tell me specificly where it is. Thanks in advance!

So was the location in the 2000 TL-P different that in your 2003 TL-S?

I would think they would be identical since they're both the same generation TL.

Thats what i thought too, when i went to autozone yesterday. On my 2003tls its under the steering wheel.

Wow. I never would have guessed that they were in different locations.

They changed the location during model year 2002.

ok went to autozone. came up with code: p1456. which means evaperator emission control system leak detected. (gross leak/no flow). The wifes car has 67k on it. Is this something the dealer must cover per the EPA guidelines? It is emission related afterall?

I do believe emissions is covered up to 8 years/80k miles. Check your owner's manual.

not sure about that. When my 02 sensor went bad on my 2003tls with 67k, It was warrantied to 70k. Guess i could look @ the manual & see if the emission evaporator canister is listed? Kind of doubt it, but worth a look. The gal @ autozone said; more than likley a plastic hose came loose on the canister, but we could not find it. Anyone know where it might be located?

Update: Took the car to the stealer. Hated to do it but i was worried about the returning CEL. Come to find out a hose did come loose to the crv valve i believe they said. No warranty as no parts where bad. Stealership charges:.....$205 bucks.....oooooouuuucccchhh!...they told me they had to take some panels off to get to the damn thing. Morel to this story a "(p1456)" code can be a very broad statement. Can be pretty hard to troubleshoot.

Thanks for the update. The dealer was expensive but at least they did find and fix the problem.

Just remember. Its STEALER, not Dealer
