DTC P145C:
11-40411-404 EVAP System
DTC Troubleshooting (cont’d)
28. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P1454 in the
DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 27,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor
connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor,
the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the ECM/
PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT
COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on. NOTE:
Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
This DTC is representative of an EVAP system purge flow problem. If DTC P145C is indicated alone,
troubleshoot P0496 and P0497 using the freeze data
for P145C.
If DTC P0497 and P145C are stored at the same time, check for a poor connection, a blockage, or damage
at the EVAP canister purge line between the EVAP
canister purge valve and the EVAP canister, or check
for a stuck closed EVAP canister purge valve.
If any of the DTCs listed below are indicated at the same time as DTC P145C, troubleshoot those DTC
first, then recheck for P145C:

Vacuum/pressure gauge, 0 4 in.Hg 07JAZ-001000B
Vacuum pump/gauge, 0 30 in.Hg, Snap-on YA4000A
or equivalent, commercially available
Do this procedure if the fuel cap warning message
comes on frequently, or if the message does not go off
after the fuel fill cap is tightened and the vehicle is
driven several days.
1. Check the fuel fill cap (the cap must say TIGHTEN TO CLICK). It should turn 1/4 after it’s tight, then it
clicks.
Go to step 2.
Replace or tighten the cap, then go to step 13.
2. Check the fuel fill cap seal (A) and the fuel fill pipe mating surface (B). Verify that the fuel fill cap tether
cord (C) is not caught under the cap.
Replace the fuel fill cap or the fuel fill pipe,
then go to step 13.
Go to step 3. 3. Reinstall and tighten the fuel fill cap.
4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at
3,000 rpm without load (in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
6. Test drive at 72 km/h (45 mph) for 1 minute or more.
Go to step 7.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine compartment,
and connect a T-fitting (C) between the vacuum
gauge and the vacuum pump/gauge 0 30 in.Hg,
and the EVAP canister purge valve as shown.

9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. Apply about 2 kPa (15 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg) of vacuum to the hose.
11. Select the EVAP PCS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Check for a blockage at the EVAP canister
purge line between EVAP canister purge valve and
the EVAP canister, then go to step 12.
Replace the EVAP canister purge valve
(see page 11-409), then go to step 12.
12. Reconnect all hoses.
13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
14. Reset the ECM with the HDS.
15. Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
16. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
17. Test drive at 72 km/h (45 mph) for 1 minute or more.
Go to step 1 and recheck.
Troubleshooting is complete.

MASTER CYLINDER ONE-WAY VALVE
ORIFICE PART of FLOW
FLUID from PISTON CYLINDER
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the fluid pressure from the master cylinder moves the one-way valve in the
direction shown in the illustration. The fluid flows through two passages: the orifice part and the filter part. It then
flows out to the piston cylinder to release the pressure plate and clutch disc joint.
When the clutch pedal is released, the fluid pressure from the piston cylinder moves the one-way valve in the direction
shown in the illustration. The one-way valve blocks the filter-part passage and delays the clutch release speed by
returning the fluid to the master cylinder through only the orifice-part passage.

NOTE: Do not reuse the drained fluid. Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause corrosion
and shorten the life of the system.
Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may not be compatible.
Make sure the brake fluid is not contaminated with dirt or other foreign matter.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the
paint or plastic, wash it off immediately with water.
If may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork with a block of wood to remove all the air
from the system.
Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the clutch reservoir (A) is at the MAX (upper) l evel line (B).2. Attach the one end of a clear tube to the bleeder
screw (A), and put the other end into a container.
Loosen the bleeder screw to allow air to escape
from the system.
3. Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid in the reservoir, then slowly push the clutch pedal all
the way down. Before releasing the pedal, have an
assistant temporarily tighten the bleeder screw.
Loosen the bleeder screw, and push the pedal
down again. Repeat this step until no more bubbles
appear at the clear tube.
NOTE: Make sure the fluid level on the reservoir
does not go below MIN.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw securely.
5. Refill the brake fluid in the reservoir to the MAX (upper) l evel line.
