Prince Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I just picked this car up and I get a check engine light about once a week that gives me this code (P1457 EVAP Emission Control System Leak Detected (Control Canister System)). After I clear it, its gone for about a week. The car seems to be running fine but the light is driving me crazy. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Prince Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 WOW, Genius ya think? I would fix the problem if I knew what it was, thats why I started the thread. Where would I look for a leak? I don't normally drive or work on HONDA's that is why I am here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 well, genius. try looking at your whole exhaust system, check your exhaust manifold gasket, pipe gaskets, o2 sensors. anywhere that a leak would occur. dont get smart with me, ill own you.

Rick B. Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 first off, dont get an attitude towards the regs. second, of course if you just clear the light it wont fix the prob. thats just common sense. duh. google is your friend search it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm trying to see that.. You honda guys kill me.. Come on now, no need to get an attitude. I just asked a question, you gave a smart ass reply, so you got one. If you can't handle that maybe you should keep quiet. No need to get all bent out of shape about it. Also I have checked the usual issues related to this code. I do know what I am doing. I can not seem to find an issue. Everything in the exhaust system seems to be good. I replaced the O2. I am just on here to see if anyone else has had the same issue or could sare some knowladge about the issue with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 not exhaust leak , under the hood of your car , near the passenger side firewall , theres an empty canister used for the EVAP system as well as a few vacuum lines. check for leaks.

Prince Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I checked that box out. Its the black box with three lines coming from it. I can't find any leaks in it or in the lines running into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
