P0456 — EVAP Very Small Leak Detected

P0456 is set when the EVAP system's very-small-leak monitor detects an opening approximately 0.020 inches (0.5 mm) or larger. This is finer than P0442 (0.040") and significantly harder to find — it can be a single pinhole, a hardened O-ring, or a hairline crack in a plastic component. The vehicle drives normally and there is rarely any fuel smell.

Severity: low powertrain Safe to drive (short term)
