DTC P0455, P0456 (1.5 L Engine)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Honda Accord, 2021 Honda Accord, 2020 Honda Accord, 2019 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC P0455  : EVAP System Very Large Leak Detected DTC P0456  : EVAP System Very Small Leak Detected

Special Tools Required 

Vacuum Pump/Gauge, 0-30 inHg Snap-on YA4000A or equivalent, commercially available 

Vacuum/Pressure Gauge, 0-4 inHg 07JAZ-001000B 

NOTE: 

The fuel system is designed to allow specified maximum vacuum and pressure conditions. Do not deviate from the vacuum and pressure tests as indicated in these procedures. Excessive pressure/vacuum would damage the EVAP components or cause eventual fuel tank failure.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Select the EVAP TEST in the Function Test, then select the FUNCTION TEST with the HDS.

    EVAP TEST - FUNCTION TEST

    Is the result OK?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor, the EVAP canister purge valve, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot . If the vehicle returns with the same DTC, continue with step 4.

    NO 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 4.

  4. EVAP canister vent hose check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Remove the EVAP canister vent hose (A), and check it for a blockage or a restriction.

    Is there a blockage or a restriction in the hose?

    YES 

    Remove a blockage or a restriction, if needed, replace the EVAP canister vent hose.

    NO 

    Reconnect the hose, then go to step 5.

  5. Fuel tank vapor recirculation tube visual check

    -1. Check for a poor connection or damage at the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube.

    Is the tube OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Replace the fuel tank or replace the fuel tank unit if needed.

  6. EVAP canister purge valve leak check

    -1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (purge line) (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine compartment, then connect a T-fitting (C), a vacuum gauge, and a vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 inHg, to the vacuum hose as shown.

    -2. Slowly apply about 2 kPa (0.6 inHg, 15 mmHg) of vacuum to the hose.

    Does it hold vacuum for 1 minute?

    YES 

    Leak not detected at the EVAP canister purge valve. Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Replace the EVAP canister purge valve .

  7. Determine possible failure area (EVAP canister vent shut valve, others)

    -1. Disconnect the fuel vent tube (A) from the EVAP canister (B), and plug the EVAP canister port (C).

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Select the EVAP TEST in the Function Test, then select the CVS ON in the SINGLE SOLENOID with the HDS.

    EVAP TEST - SINGLE SOLENOID

    -5. Apply vacuum to the hose until the FTP reads 1.90 V (-0.59 inHg, -15.1 mmHg).

    NOTE:  Be careful not to exceed the vacuum. If you do, the FTP sensor can be damaged.
