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

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.

Special Tools Required

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

Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ). Fresh fuel has a higher volatility that will create greater pressure/vacuum. The best condition for testing is less than a full tank of fresh fuel. If possible, to assist in leak detection, add 1 gallon of fresh fuel to the tank (as long as it will not fill the tank), just before starting these procedures.

  29. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  30. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system-4-cyl__ecmpcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
  31. Take a snapshot with the HDS for 3 minutes without starting the engine.
  32. Check the recorded snapshot parameters with the HDS
  1. Max Value of FTP SENSOR (FINE)
  2. Min Value of FTP SENSOR (FINE)

Is the difference between the MAX and MIN values of the FTP SENSOR (FINE) about0.67kPa (0.2inHg, 5mmHg) or less?

YES -Troubleshooting is complete.

NO -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 .

DTC P145C: EVAP System Purge Flow Malfunction

Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ). If DTC P145C is indicated alone, do the troubleshooting for DTC P0496 and P0497 using freeze data for P145C. If DTC P0497 and P145C are stored at the same time, check for a poor connection, a blockage, or damage at the EVAP canister purge line between the EVAP canister purge valve and the EVAP canister. Also check for a stuck closed EVAP canister purge valve. If any of DTCs listed below are indicated at the same time as DTC P145C, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for P145C. P0496, P0497: EVAP system purge flow

Fuel Cap Warning Message System Troubleshooting

Special Tools Required

  1. Vacuum/Pressure Gauge, 0-4 inHg 07JAZ-001000B
  2. Vacuum Pump/Gauge, 0-30 inHg Snap-on YA4000A or equivalent, commercially available

Do this procedure if the fuel cap warning message comes on frequently, or if the message does not go off after the fuel fill cap is tightened and the vehicle is driven several days.

  1. Check the fuel fill cap (the cap must say TIGHTEN TO CLICK). It should turn 1/4 after it's tight, then it clicks. Is the correct fuel fill cap installed and properly tightened? YES -Go to step 2. NO -Replace or tighten the cap, then go to step 13 .
  2. Check the fuel fill cap seal (A) and the fuel fill pipe mating surface (B). Verify that the fuel fill cap tether cord (C) is not caught under the cap. Is the fuel fill cap seal missing or damaged, is the fuel fill pipe damaged, or is the tether cord caught under the cap? YES -Replace the fuel fill cap or the fuel fill pipe, then go to step 13 . NO -Go to step 3.
  3. Reinstall and tighten the fuel fill cap.
  4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
  6. Test drive at 45 mph (72 km/h) for 1 minute or more. Does fuel cap warning message come on? YES -Go to step 7. NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.
  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  8. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine compartment, and connect a T-fitting (C), a vacuum gauge, and a vacuum pump/gauge 0-30 inHg to the EVAP canister purge valve as shown.
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  10. Apply about 2 kPa (0.6 inHg, 15 mmHg) of vacuum to the hose.
  11. Select the EVAP PCS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. Does the vacuum release immediately? YES -Check for a blockage at the EVAP canister purge line between the EVAP canister purge valve and the EVAP canister, then go to step 12. NO -Replace the EVAP canister purge valve (see «EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/auxiliary-emission-control-systems/#evap-system-4-cyl) ), then go to step 12.
  12. Reconnect all hoses.
  13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  14. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  15. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system-4-cyl__ecmpcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
  16. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
  17. Test-drive at 45 mph (72 km/h) for 1 minute or more.

Does the fuel cap message come on?

YES -Go to step 1 and recheck.

NO -Troubleshooting is complete.
