EVAP System
DTC Pl457: EVAP Control
(EVAP Canister Svstem)
System Leakage
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.

This is a two-trip code; once cleared, it cannot be
reproduced in one trip. Also, certain specific driving
a n d a m b i e n t c o n d i t i o n s m u s t o c c u r b e f o r e t h e E C M w i l l
complate the system checks. additional test drives may
still not meet the specific conditions needed to
reproduce the code, lf necessary, use the test drive
procedures for setting the readiness code (see page 11
3 8 ) .
Follow these troubleshooting procedures carefully to
ensure the integrity of the system and to confirm the
cause of the Droblem or code.
NOTE: Fresh fuel has a higher volatility that will create
greater pressure/vacuum. The optimum condition for
testing is fresh fuel, at least half. but less than a full tank.
lf 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.
