G3:






Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel tank evaporative system for significant leaks that occur following refueling of the vehicle. If a fuel tank pressure change greater than 23.7 kPa (-7 in-Hg) of vacuum within 30 seconds after refueling occurs, or there is an excessive purge (fuel vapor) flow greater than 454 g (1.0 lb) per minute, the PCM sets DTC P0457 and sends a message to the instrument cluster over the communication network to illuminate the check fuel indicator.

Possible Causes
- PCM
- instrument cluster
