DTC
P0456 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (very small leak)
Diagnostic method
The diagnostic method consists of creating a sealed vacuum in the fuel tank and then determining the pres-
ence of leakage from the speed at which the tank internal pressure returns to atmospheric pressure.
Mode A: (0 Point Compensation)
When pressure in tank is high, wait for 0 point 0 kPa (Near 0 mmHg, 0 inHg) to return.Shift to mode B when
0 point returns.
Cancel the diagnosis when 0 point does not return in the specified time.
Mode B: (Negative pressure introduced)
Introduce negative pressure in the intake manifold to the tank.
Approx. 0 → –2.0 kPa (0 mmHg → –15 mmHg, 0 → –0.59 inHg)
When the pressure above (desired negative pressure) is reached, Mode C is entered.
Cancel the diagnosis when the targeted pressure in the tank is not reached.
Mode C: (Negative pressure maintained)
Stop the introduction of negative pressure and wait until the tank pressure returns to the start level of P2 cal-
culation.
Change to Mode D either when the tank pressure returns to the start level of P2 calculation, or when the pre-
determined amount of time has passed.
Mode D: (Calculate the amount of negative pressure change)
Monitor the tank pressure in mode D, calculate (P2) the pressure change in the tank, and measure the time
(evpdset) for the tank pressure to return when calculation of P2 is completed. Shift to mode E when pressure
returns. Make an advance OK judgment using the value of P2, or cancel, when the pressure in the tank does
not return after calculation of P2 is completed even when the predetermined amount of time has passed.
When the following conditions are established, it is OK.

A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and properly
orientated.
4) Remove it again and check the reading. If the
engine oil level is below “L” line, add oil to bring the
level up to “F” line.
5) After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes
for the oil to return to the oil pan before checking
the level.
NOTE:
To prevent overfilling of engine oil, do not add oil
above “F” line when the engine is cold.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Open the engine oil filler cap for quick draining of
engine oil.
2) Lift-up the vehicle.
3) Drain engine oil by loosening the engine oil drain
plug.
NOTE:
Prepare the container for draining of engine oil.
4) Tighten the engine oil drain plug after draining
engine oil.
NOTE:
Use a new drain plug gasket.
Tightening torque:
44 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft-lb)
5) Using engine oil of proper quality and viscosity,
fill engine oil through the oil filler duct to the upper
level on level gauge. Make sure that the vehicle is
parked on a level surface when checking oil level.
Recommended oil:
Refer to “SPECIFICATION” for the recom-
mended oil.
Engine oil capacity
Refer to “SPECIFICATION” for the engine oil
capacity.
6) Close the engine oil filler cap.
7) Start the engine and warm it up for a time.
8) After the engine stops, recheck the oil level. If
necessary, add engine oil up to the upper level on
level gauge.

12) Check the idle speed when no-loaded. (Head-
light, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, A/C
and etc. are OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in neutral]:
650±50 rpm
13) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the A/
C switch to “ON” and operate the compressor for at
least one minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C ON and gears in neutral]:
770±50 rpm
NOTE:
Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted. If the pre-
scribed idle speed cannot be maintained, refer to

clogging, spark plugs are in good condition, and
hoses are connected properly.
(2) Check the malfunction indicator light does
not illuminate.
2) Idle the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and turn the ignition switch to

(2) Remove the clamp, and disconnect the
evaporation hose from the pipe.
CAUTION:
•Collect fuel from the hose into container.
•Disconnect the hose with its end wrapped
with cloth to prevent fuel from splashing.
30) Support the engine with a lifting device and
wire ropes.
31) Support the transmission with a garage jack.

also of great importance for facilitating reinstal-
lation.
CAUTION:
Before removing the engine away from trans-
mission, check to be sure no work has been
overlooked.
