P0457 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED (FUEL CAP LOOSE/OFF)
| Description: | The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors the fuel level and retains the last updated value prior to the ignition switch being placed in the OFF position. After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position a new fuel level is taken and compared to the level recorded at ignition off. If the fuel level has increased, a flag is set in the PCM indicating the vehicle was refueled. If the evaporative emission (EVAP) monitor detects a gross leak while the refueling flag is set, an incorrectly sealed fuel tank filler pipe is suspected and the DTC is set. When the DTC sets, a message on the instrument cluster displays to instruct the driver to check the capless fuel tank filler pipe. | ||

| Diagnostic Aids: | Verify the capless fuel tank filler pipe is sealed correctly. Install and remove the supplemental fueling adapter five times in the capless fuel tank filler pipe to clear debris on the seal. Refer to the Owner's Literature for the location of the supplemental fueling adapter in the vehicle. If OK, clear the continuous memory DTCs and test the system for correct operation. | ||
