  • The P1457 code indicates a small leak in the evaporative emissions system of your vehicle. In this video I explain how the system works, how to diagnose the problem, and also how to fix it. The vehicle used in the video is a 2005 Honda Civic with a 1.7L engine, but the procedures in this video will work for just about any evaporative emissions system.
    Thanks for watching!

      Terrible convention to have one light for the most complicated chunk of the vehicle, yet 2 or 3 just for the brakes. With more vehicles going to digital dashboards, it would be lovely to have a diag mode where it will display the codes on the dash or console. Easier for consumers to know what's wrong instead of getting blindsided, and easier for techs to give accurate quotes.

    You are spot on with your observation that a standing EVAP code can mask something more serious. One of my dinosaurmobiles routinely sets a P0442 and lights up the CEL, usually at around the 3/4 tank level as soon as the vehicle goes into closed loop. So whenever it does, I check that out and as long as P0442 is the only code listed I just clear it and get on with my life. I only put 1200-1500 miles a year on the car and chasing down some intermittent EVAP leak is not in my lifeplan.

It would have required a sudden burst of overpressure to lock up the valve and close it, which the smoke machine wouldn't be capable of with its low flow.
      Seems like the valve might not have been working properly and was stuck closed, which may not trigger the leak code but cause other issues.

  • @IsaacS805
    @IsaacS805 3 года назад +2

    I had a P1457 on my 1999 Acura Integra GSR a few times recently. Once was the EVAP cannister purge solenoid wiring being so corroded that working in the engine bay, I totally severed the wires just by bumping into it with tools/hands/parts removal. So I redid the wiring on that. It was a difficult area to reach so I must've not gotten the most solid connection, so when I was rebuilding my engine and transmission later I must've severed the wire again (tugging it with parts or tools). I bought an entirely new pigtail connector and wired it in (same as the one redone in the video, coincidentally haha). Yet the issue still came back, but this time it was a p1456 instead of p1457. I tested a few solenoids/valves with 12v power and then decided that because it was a p1456 I would try the gas cap. I had an aftermarket locking gas cap so I decided to switch back to the original one that came with the car. Problem was the o-ring on the old cap was so worn/ripped/torn that I would need to buy a new OEM one. Instead I just took the o-ring off the aftermarket cap and put it on the OEM (or at least OEM-style) cap that came with the car. Problem fixed! It's been about 2000 miles roughly and haven't seen the issue come back yet, but if so I will buy a new OEM Acura cap.

      My 67 Dodge D200 is probably 70% Mercedes-Benz wiring harness reworked...... that's one thing I've always admired under the hood of German vehicles: rarely will you spot inadequately wrapped wire or brittle connectors. Maybe it's just relativity. The bulkhead connectors of older Dodge vehicles make me think of using a fork and toaster as a conductor, though that would probably be safer!

    That is why he thought that he got a bad part.
    His words "solinoid came partially opened"
    The cvs is open the ECU controls the ground to close the valve and cut off vapor..

    This reminded me of a so so friend who used a bic lighter to find gas leaks in his home heating system, which is quite dangerous but has the advantage of a pressurized gas which is pure, where as gasoline fumes from a cracked charcoal canister is not. Since it is cracked air can get in and mix with the fumes and you essentially have a possible big boom if met with a bic flame, which if you haven't guessed is exactly what happened. The canister went away and so did most of my friends hair, this was the old GM style ,really epic boom ,fortunately he had safety glasses on, LOL.

    Squirrels 🐿️. I went round and round with one of these issues. Started with the gas cap and the valve on the throttle body. Then went through some electrical diagnostic. After watching this video I built a DIY smoke machine and traced it back to the gas tank. Some kind of rodent was living on top of the gas tank and chewed the vent hose. Should be an easy repair but the part was kind of expensive ($80). Thanks for the helpful video. I was about ready to give up.

    I have a 1999 Honda Accord LX 2.3L. Got engine code of P1457. With the things I know about the car, I went ahead and replaced the charcoal canister and solenoid. Reasons why I didn't go through all the testing is the following- 1. car BARELY passed smog 2 years ago. 2. Exhaust smelled horrible. 3. Car was acting funny with it jerking while coasting or slowly accelerating. And car revved high in park, neutral and drive. So with how old the car is, having 236k miles, and the big fact that it barely passed smog. So key thing to remember...REPLACE the O-Ring on the solenoid. The warn out ring WILL CAUSE a leak and the P1457 will come back.

    Why they put that canister in the ass end of the vehicle where it's out in all the elements is KRAZY.

They are not cheap that's for sure.

    • @throttlebottle5906

      because they need larger diameter hose and close coupling from tank to canister, since it has to take and filters the vapor flow when refueling.
      long ago it just vented back out the filler neck into the atmosphere and at one point back through vapor recovery gas pump nozzles/hose/piping setups.

  • @larryordine7542

    Cute to see Eric the mechanic stumbling around with this dreaded 1457 code even with a smoke machine. The new solenoid breather valve power reset may have been all it needed. In fact the old one may not have been getting power either because of the smashed taped over plug. The vacuum valve was likely good as they are almost always silent and your machine showed a bad leak after it was replaced and until the solenoid vent breather reset.
    Expensive from the dealer but hey are you going to take it off and see if the old one is good and try to return an electrical item to the dealer?
    " Well if it's suddenly working after I changed some parts that's a win. "
    SO, Definitely check the power connections first before changing more parts.
    I thought you were going to supply 12 volts to all the valves before changing them out.
    I use CRC 226 on all the electrical plugs on my old Honda and they stay corrosion free and clean. I feel for you Eric . 1457 is a bitch. I changed the vent solenoid last year and now it's back again.

    The purge valve on these cars will hold vacuum but not pressure. You can incorrectly call a faulty purge valve if you aren't careful. Also, I have seen partially shorted purge valves which will move when activated, but cannot hold themselves against manifold vacuum. Meaning, the Venturi effect will pull the valve shut when it's running a duty cycle.

    Back when I had an Elantra, evap codes were the bane of my existence. Car taken to the shop so many times, every part replaced once if not more times... never solved it. Looking back, I don't know why I didn't just bypass or delete the system entirely. Either way, eventually sold the car to a guy in a county that didn't require emissions testing.

    I hear volatile used readily by many to describe how easily fuel vapors ignite, but just means how easily fuel evaporates. What concerns me is the extremely low flash point of gasoline vapors which is more to the point, the higher the ambient temp. the more unstable fuel vapors become around concentrated heat sources.

    Two things that I would like to make a note on:
    1) Please take this part from my days as a pipefitter. The Vise-Grips were being used backwards. The small jaw should be used as an arrow pointing toward the other jaw for the correct direction for rotation. It's the same principle for Channel-Loks. This greatly reduces the chances of slipping on the fastener.
    2) If you are working with threaded knurls going into plastic, a very good trick is to use a soldering iron to heat the knurl enough to melt the plastic that it goes into. It will stay for a very long time.

      You are correct on the vice grips, but in this case, the grips actually only worked in this direction because the screw was so close to the part. I would not be able to turn it otherwise. Thanks for the heads up on the plastic trick. I'll have to try that next time.

    Hello, Being an electrical engineer by profession, the polarity of the solenoid does make a difference because internally across the coil may be a suppression diode(it is polarity sensitive;; the cathode of the diode is normally connected to the positive and the anode is connected to the negative). This is also called a fly-back diode. If you connect the polarity in the wrong direction then the solenoid will never work.

    • @ericthecarguy
      @ericthecarguy  3 года назад

      @@ericthecarguy Most schematics do not show the diode(it is an internal part that is part of the whole solenoid structure). You can't even measure the presence of this diode since the resistance of the coil will always show up unless the diode is a really shorted, then you would read a very low ohmic value(close to the value when you short your DVM test leads together in "resistance or ohmic" mode.

    • @ericthecarguy
      @ericthecarguy  3 года назад

      In my experience, Honda schematics usually show a diode in a solenoid if there is one. An example is the AC diodes. Given that this is a low amp circuit, I don't think there was a need to put one in. Cost always drives design when it comes to auto production. If they can save on a diode, they do. BTW, I never stated the OG poster was wrong.

    The vent valve should be open when it has no power key off, and closed when power is supplied, plus control ground from the ECM. Unplugging it and not having a leak doesn't make sense.. You will probably get a different code if the vent doesn't open and possibly problems filling with fuel. I love watching your videos, cause you never know when your going to learn something new.

    FYI i believe the Shadier is a Reverse threaded valve.
    Are you closing the cvsv with the scanner? KOEO.
    Are you plugging the Purge? you wont see smoke going in the engine.
    I start with the purge by checking for vacuum with the engine running and electrical connector disconnected. then connect a vac/press gauge to it and then smoke from the tank with the cvsv or vent valve shut KOEO.
    Ohh I forgot, I have noticed on honda, kia and hyhundi, Some Valves will stick Shut because of the oil residue/ the smoke is mineral oil(holding the valve "ON" for long periods)
