Test T: The Check Fuel Cap Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On

PINPOINT TEST T: THE CHECK FUEL CAP WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON


T1-T4:






Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel tank evaporative emission system for significant leaks that occur following refueling of the vehicle. If a fuel tank pressure change greater than -23.7 kPa (-7 in-Hg) of vacuum within 30 seconds after refueling occurs, or there is an excessive purge (fuel vapor) flow of greater than 454 g (1.0 lb) per minute, the PCM sets DTC P0457 and sends a message to the instrument cluster over the communication network to illuminate the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator.

Possible Causes
- PCM
- instrument cluster
