problem #1

Oct 012010

EL 1.7

  • Manual transmission
  • 180,198 miles

Check engine light is on (CEL), and my code reader is telling me its a P1457 error.

(DTC) P1457: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) control system leak detected (EVAP control canister system)

Most common fix is the "EVAP control canister vent shut valve" (Honda item #17310-S5A-L31)

This is located underneath the car by the fuel tank. It's attached to the charcoal canister.

Apparently a common problem in regions where salt is used on the roads.
