code p0456

SES came up about a month ago, scanned it and came up unidentified code: p0456. so i cleared it and it and everything was fine. until yesterday when the SES came on again, with the same code.
Anyone know what this code is?

Emissions leak, probably related to the vent valve cannister. I don't know what the hell it is but I had mine replaced under warranty.

Hey Mike 2K2, this code refer to: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected ( very small leak ) it sometimes can be the gas cap that was loose, or maybe it can be the " Black Box " on the rear left underneath the car. I would erase it again and see how long it take before it come back, if only few days then give a call to your dealer.

Cheers
