Check engine light comes on

I ran the procedure to find the trouble codes and came up with the following: P1684, P0456 & P0455. Gas cap appears to be on tight but does the rubber gasket ever wear out? The other 2 codes I don't know.

Yes. the rubber gaskets do wear out. on most vehicles the gas cap
should be tightened 'til it"clicks". you probably can't tell from the
"appearance" but if you tighten 'til it clicks then drive for awshile and still
get the same code, the next step is a NEW gas cap/

SOURCE: what are troubleshooting codes P1684 and P0456?

If both codes came at the same time and you didn't take the battery cable off, you need a purge solenoid, $40 near master cylinder. Put 3/4 tank of gas and the light will go out buy the time you get to 1/4 tank.

SOURCE: CODES,P0442,P0455,P0456,P1684

P0442, P0455 AND P0456 are all evaporative leak monitor test failures (small, medium and large leaks). These codes appear anytime the integrity of the air space above the fuel or the lines to/from the vapor canister or purge valve. If there is no damage to the canister, check the lines that run under the van from the fuel tank and canister to the purge valve (under the hood). Also, check to make sure that the hoses are not split or disconnected where they connect to the purge valve. The P1684 is abit more confusing. This is not a valid DTC for your vehicle. It's possible the scanner the shop you went to is an OTC scanner that is reporting a false code. It's also possible they wrote it down incorrectly. The closest thing that makes any sense is a P1486 which would indicate a pinched hose in the same monitor system as the other 3 codes. Best of luck!

Error code 340 & 457

  • P0340 - Camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction.
  • P0457 - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (fuel filler cap loose/off)

    There is a bulletin #0398 posted on 05/12/2003 for P0457 - Malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illumination with diagnostic trouble codes p0442, p0455, p0456, p0457, p1442 or check fuel cap lamp illuminated with diagnostic trouble code p0457.

I'd suggest checking with your local dealer, as it may be a fix that is covered by the dealer.

My malfunction indicator light is on dodge neon 2001: got codes P1684,P0455

this obd2 trouble code table can help you understand the meaning of code.
and for p0455, you can try:

Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.

Otherwise, replace the gas cap, and/or

Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses (you may hear a vacuum noise or smell fuel), repair if necessary

I changed my gas cap yesturday and my engine light went on today. would that have anything to do with it?

Hello: Yes if it is not designed for your truck it will cause the engine light to come. (the evap system) If you put a locking gas cap on that could be the problem. If you want a locking gas cap you will have to get a GM on

What are troubleshooting codes P1684 and P0456?

P0456 is a small vacuum leak - see if you can trace down the vac lines for inspection according to the diagram that's on the sticker under the hood (it should be near the end of the hood prop on the covering over the radiator). I just took a picture of my 2002 Chrysler Town & Country but to get it small enough to upload you can't read the detail.

P1684 is an easily trigerred code that is from a diagnostic reader or battery issue - not 100% sure of it's cause but it does not trip the engine light.

What is the diagnostic codes P 0700 P1684 p0442 p0455 p0456 on a 2001 dodge Caravan with a 3 3"

P0700: EATX Controller DTC present
P1684: Battery was desconnected
P0442: EVAP leak monitor medium (.040). Leak detected.
P0455:
EVAP leak monitor large. Leak detected.
P0456: EVAP leak monitor small (.020). Leak detected.

I suggest check the lines and flow it down to the ldp (leak detection pump) that is just behind the steering gear under the van It has a wire connector and 2 large EVAP hoses. look for any split or crack then follow the lines back to the tank. Even a small crack is a leak.

Hope helped with this. Remember rated this help. Good luck.

2004 grand caravan, P0456 and p1684 codes appeared at same time. P1684 dont seem possible (as discribed in code book), but lights (all) seem to surge or flicker at times. I disconnect batt. and codes...

P1684 You might have a voltage drop for a second, then the system will pick that up and say that you took off the battery connector. The battery may be going out or the alternator. P0456 may come up if you put gas in the car with the car running. The gas cap my not be working or be put on right. Good luck. ps Check to see if all the wires that have to do with the charging system are tight. everything!
