P0457 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Fuel Cap Loose/Off)

P0457 indicates an EVAP leak condition associated with a loose or missing fuel cap on vehicles that support that monitor logic. The actual fault still needs a sealing check.

Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not assume every P0457 is only the cap; a recurring leak after a known-good cap still needs EVAP-system testing.
