Hi all,
This morning my accord put out P1456 code, this is first time I am seeing it so i checked the gas cap and thats fine. Not sure where to go from here.
I will be giving the car to my father in about 6 months, I want to make sure it doesnt get worst if that is possible.
Is there anything else that is simple to check that could cause this?
I dont have the time to deal with this, I will leave it alone if it cant get worst.Also not sure if this is related but two days ago my left break light failed , it comes on for running light but does not do anything else. The middle and right right work fine.
The car has 117K on it , 4cyl. engine auto tranny.
Thanks

That’s probably one of the harder causes to correct, as the filler neck has to come out.
The gas cap has a seal that might just be worn out. It’s a cheap replacement part for just a gas cap, so I’d replace that.
Otherwise you’ll be looking at having a shop do a ‘smoke test’ to locate the leak. And it looks like that youtube video might have something with a known problem area.
I’m not saying tear it apart for a “Could Be”. Just making a suggestion, and a google search shows quite a few results for that year/code.

Thanks for reply.
The cap was changed a few months back none of the less I tried swapping it and no luck.Looks like im going to just ignore it unless it becomes an issue on every day driving until I can send it in to shop before giving it to my father.
Thanks
I’ll start by saying that you need to use a Honda cap. If not, the code may still set. That said, the code is for a ‘large’ evap leak on the tank side of the system. It might not be a bad idea to check and see if your gas filler neck is corroded. If it is there may be a hole which could cause the same code to set.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
