Honda Accord Check Engine Light Codes: 1456 & 0171
I spent several hundreds dollars to pass emissions last month. I was
receiving eCU codes P0401 and P0420, which were both resolved after the shop replaced my Catalyst Converter and O2 sensor, but now the "Check Engine" light is back with the following codes: 0171 and 1456 I knew something was wrong since the car had troubles accelerating after being at a complete stop. It will jerk and sometimes jump. I've never seen these two codes before having the shop work on my car. Could this be just a mere coincidence or should the shop help fix the problem? The Catalyst converter was after market. --tj |

Honda Accord Check Engine Light Codes: 1456 & 0171

: <snip> The OP has not said the year of his Accord, as you point out. There are numerous TSBs involving P0171 and P1456. These are year (and sometimes engine) specific. Honda's EVAP systems are notoriously trouble-prone with several known issues that set a P1456. It turns out that underneath the back of the car is not the best place to install something as sensitive and finicky as the currently mandated EVAP system. To the OP: Please provide year and engine of your Accord. Also state trim level (EX, LX, Hybrid, etc.) -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
