Check engine light is on (CEL), and my code reader is telling me its a P1457 error.
(DTC) P1457: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) control system leak detected (EVAP control canister system)
Most common fix is the "EVAP control canister vent shut valve" (Honda item #17310-S5A-L31)
This is located underneath the car by the fuel tank. It's attached to the charcoal canister.
Apparently a common problem in regions where salt is used on the roads.
