2002 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 - P1457 EVAP Emission Leak: Can It Be Reset Safely? Repair Cost Estimate

Model: 2002 Honda Accord Coupe EX V-6 Fault Code: P1457 Posted: 2014-06-03 06:40

I've researched code P1457 on my 2002 Honda Accord Coupe EX with a V6 engine, which indicates an EVAP Emission Control System Leak Detected (Control Canister System). My question is: can this fault code be simply reset without addressing the underlying issue? If I ignore it, could it lead to long-term damage or fail emissions testing? Additionally, what is a typical repair cost for fixing this at a dealership or auto shop?

It's recommended to fix the issue rather than just resetting the code. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) notes that corrosion of the bypass solenoid valve is a common cause, especially in regions where road salt is used during winter months. Repair time is approximately 1 hour at standard shop rates plus the cost of the replacement part.
