Hi ,
I removed this fuse and put it back after 30 seconds..but still no help...
Could you suggest me more..

Thanx

Hi,
I tried removing the fuse still no help...

Disconnecting the battery will clear it as well as disconnecting the BACK UP fuse from the fuse/relay box on the right side of the engine compartment this will also clear you radio, so be prepared if you have anti-theft systems

MY RECOMMENDATION. Dont clear it immediately! Go ahead and check out what fault code registered so that you know what happened. To do so turn the key to ON, but dont start it. Remove the passenger side kick panel and find the double female connector sitting in the blue protective rubber covering. Use a wire to jump the two sides of the connector and look at the check engine light as it begins to flash. Tell me what the flashes were, and I'll give you the corresponding trouble code.

as far as I'm aware, OBD2 ECU's don't flash codes... they have a diagnostic port for an OBD2 scanner, not a jumper plug.
If he does want to get the code scanned... some place like autozone does OBD2 scanning for free.

I'm ont totally sure either, however I have a 2000 HX (OBDII) that I used this techinque on to find out my cyp sensor in the distributor was bad. I believe the car uses both methods, with the obd2 diagnostic port being on the other (drivers) side near the fuses.
But yes, you are definitely right about autozone doing obd2 scans for free.

HI,
I found the problem, My oxygen sensor was bad..today I replaced that and my check engine light is gone..

Thanx to all for replying so fast..without all your help it was not possible....

Thanx

try an auto parts store, they can read and clear codes also. if you clear the code and it comes back on there is a problem........ a loose/missing gas cap will set a p1456 code-meaning the comp thinks you have a fuel leak.... try autozone or oriellys or pep boys

What’s up everyone! I hope the mods don’t get too upset about me digging up a real old thread but it helped me out & I wanted to share my experience.

I got a CEL the other day, went to autozone & they printed out 2 codes for me:

TROUBLESHOOTING P1456
Evap “Emission Control Sys” Leak Detected
(gross Leak/No Flow)

TROUBLESHOOTING P1456
Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit malfunction

After doing a search I did what Beastiek2 & ridestreet84 recommended & disconnected the battery. No problem ever since. Thanks.
