More than likely, yes.

1st, have them load test battery, then move forward.

 

I would think they could pull codes for you that might narrow it down a bit? Did you get gas recently? A loose gas cap could be the issue.

 

Thank you for the reply. I got gas a couple days ago but it doesn't have a gas cap, their is a cover thing inside the gas door that seals the hole. I'll run outside and look at it right now.

Thank you, I will bring it in and request that.

 

These have a fuel cap?

 

My bad, I forgot about the crazy Honda design. 🤣

 

Will it set a code with the fuel door unlocked, that I am not 100%. Some vehicles will not run diagnostic on fuel system, but don't know about Honda.

 

Okay, just got back from AutoZone. The printout reads: Power Train System code P24C0 - Canister Change Over Valve Close Malfunction.

I don't know what any of that means.

 

I’d say off to the dealer next, hopefully you’re still under warranty.

 

Battery test good?

Also, if you fill with gas, stop at the 1st click it shuts off.

Have you been rounding up at all?

 

Battery test good?

I asked him to do that first but he said he would run the diagnostic first. I didn't really press him to do the battery first and it's not my personality type to argue with people like that. Once we got the code I forgot about following up with the battery thing. Crap, I hope this doesn't end up biting me in the rear

Do you think I should go back and insist on the battery test? I'm trying to not drive it much.

 

Rough diagram, but usually vapor canister gets replaced, and maybe a valve.

Can be expensive, not worth the extra clicks, especially paying with a card these days.

Yikes! Thank you so much for the new info. I'm gonna tell everyone I know not to round up!

 

Wow! Great information. I wasn't aware of that either. No more rounding up for me. Thanks for the info.

 

Greetings, Just got back from grocery shopping. On the way to the store I got a check engine light pop up that says "Emissions System Problem". My car only has 20,271 miles and I've brought it in for all of the schedule maintenance checkups at the dealership where I bought it. I don't think any dealership service departments are open today since it's Sunday. If I took it to AutoZone, would they be able to plug in the analyzer and tell me the specific issue? Thanks!

Have you fueled up lately? If so, try removing the gas cap and placing it on as per the manual, usually one click tight.

 

The 5th gen is a cap less system.

 

A few years ago this happened to my wife's car and my car all in the same week. I figured it might have to do with low quality gasoline. Since then, when it happens I have filled the car with mid-grade or premium fuel from a "high end" gas station that has cleaning fuel additives and within a few miles, the warning goes off. I don't know if you agree with my logic, but it seems to work for me!

 

I guess some don't start from the beginning.

 

Dont think he meant it like that, hence the "🤣 "

Won't even be a gas cap before long.

 

It's a good idea to stick with Top Tier fuel (not premium) from the major name brands as the level of additives and detergents are different. Non top tier may affect sensors and stuff. It happened with mi Infiniti. Switched back to mobil or shell and problem solved.

 

Update: So my car spent a couple of days at the dealership last week and they told me it was some sort of evaporator part that had to be ordered to arrive in two more weeks. However, the service guy said my car is still driveable since the only thing happening is that it is polluting the atmosphere.

All this is covered under warranty. Speaking of which, my main gripe is that the Honda Care warranty only reimburses the cost of a rental at $35 per day (6 days max). I'm sure that $35 per day price hasn't changed in years but you know what has changed? The price of rent cars and everything else. I think Honda Care needs to bump that up $10 or $15 so we can afford the extra daily charge for insuring the rental.

 

"evaporator"

Yeah, sounds close enough. Thanks for the update Dood!

No problem! I get that the "vapor" part might not be a pollutant itself but it is part of the emissions system so maybe the vapor affects something else down the line. No sure but you're right, that does seem a bit odd.

 

Evaporator is in the AC system, as you may be aware, little confusing, but no worries there.

Taking vapor from that word and looking at post 19, I'm betting that is where the problem is.

Take all the tips from this thread and apply them and you should be good after repair... hopefully!
