2014 Fiat 500L Easy; Current miles: 66127
About 1000 miles ago, the car threw a P0456. It came on at engine start up, or rather it didn't turn off after the start up sequence.
It was days after filling gas, so couldn't have been the gas cap. I still checked the gas cap; opened and closed it. Didn't help.
Tried to clear the code using an OBDII device; but wouldn't clear.
Then, after around 200 miles, immediately after filling gas, when I started the car, the light was gone - just like that.
Almost seemed like the filling fixed it. Or, could it be that the gas cap seated well this time?
Today, it threw the code again. Just like last time, it came on at engine start up, days after filling gas.
Tried to clear the code; Didn't work.
About 10 miles later, I filled gas to see if it would go off like the previous time. It didn't.
What could be the issue?
Could it actually be the gas cap? I have a capless gas tank (which I hate and don't trust). Is there a way to convert that to a normal gas cap?
I believe it could be the purge valve or charcoal canister. Is there a way to test? Anyone has this happen to you?
I am kind of confused by the way it turned off by itself immediately after filling gas. Any thoughts?
Thank you for any help.
