EVAP control system leak
I got a 98 Honda Accord. From more than a year ago, I spell gas around
the gas tank whenever I finish driving and exit. Now the check engine light is on and I find the code to be 90. My Haynes manual says it's P1456 -- 90 -- EVAP control system leak near fuel tank P1457 -- 90 -- EVAP control system leak near canister I think it's the first one. The repair is probably beyond my capability for safety reason. The manual says "Fortunately, the evaporative control system, like all emission control systems, is protected by a Federally-mandated warranty". Does that mean I can get it fixed for free? If not, how much would it be approximately? BTW, I passed inspection in April so I think the gas cap is (or was) good. I'll talk to the dealer on Monday. Thanks for any advice. Yong Huang |

You have no way of knowing. Honda retained the old Check Engine light flash diag for your generation, but did not provide the finely-grained error coding supplied via the ODB-II port. > The repair is probably beyond my capability > for safety reason.

Thanks for any advice. > You need to narrow down that code, which means a proper scan with an OBD-II reader. If the code is P1456, it's almost certainly the gas cap. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

My car never had any accident. I'll try using my 2003 Honda Odyssey gas cap and see if the problem goes away. The check engine light came on before April's inspection and went away. So I'm afraid the gas cap is OK or it would be found defective in the inspection. I called the local dealer. They told me there's no such federally-mandated warranty except for oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. I told them the cat converter was replaced in 2004 under warranty just before it expired. He doesn't seem to know much about these expiration dates. Yong Huang |

There is a US-only 8yr/80K federal warranty for the catalytic converter and the engine's emissions computer. The oxygen sensor is covered only by the 2yr/24K mile warranyt unless Honda covers it for longer. See inside the horse's mouth for mo http://www.epa.gov/obd/warranties.htm > I told them the cat converter was replaced in 2004 under > warranty just before it expired.

After that, you're on your own. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
