P0456
2AZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0455, P0456: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak)
DTC P0455 - Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak)
DTC P0456 - Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Very Small Leak)
DTC SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System EVAP System.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to the EVAP System EVAP System.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.
Text in Illustration
- (a) P0455: EVAP gross leak
In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the EVAP system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.35] (near atmospheric pressure), the ECM determines that the EVAP system has a large leak, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
- (b) P0456: EVAP very small leak
In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the EVAP system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than the second reference pressure, the ECM determines that the EVAP system has a small leak, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
NOTICE:
- The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 6 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 19 minutes.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
- Do not run the engine during this operation.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).
1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.
7. After the "Evaporative System Check" is completed, check All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
8. Input the DTC: P0455 or P0456.
9. Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
10. If the result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
