Engine Control
P0455 Evaporative Emission System-Leak detected(Large leak) - General Information

General Description

The evaporative emission control system prevents hydrocarbon (HC) vapors from the fuel system from escaping into the atmosphere where they could form photochemical smog. Gasoline vapors are collected in the charcoal canister. Periodically the PCM checks the system for vacuum decay, valve leakage and restrictions. The PCM will close off the CCV and then momentarly open the PCSV to lock vacuum in the system. Then the PCM monitors the FTPS signal to check the pressure change.

DTC Description

Checking output signals from fuel tank pressure sensor under evap.system test, if fuel tank's vacuum is lower than prescribed threshold, PCM sets P0455 and then MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.
