Problem overview

Some Hyundai Accent owners report experiencing the emission light illuminating due to the P0456 code, which indicates a small leak in the evaporative emission system. This issue is critical for controlling emissions and preventing fuel vapors from escaping into the environment. Owners have noted symptoms such as reduced engine performance, unusual shifting, and decreased fuel efficiency. Potential causes of the P0456 code include a loose fuel filler cap or leaks in the EVAP purge line. Additionally, some drivers have observed that the code may temporarily clear after replacing components like the PCV and Evap canister, but it can reappear later. It is recommended that affected owners have the EVAP system inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the small leak associated with the P0456 code.
