P0455 Code - 2002 Grand Cherokee
#1
Email Question:

Hi , I'm having the same trouble as you had with emissions PO455. This has been going on for 3 years now and no one can find the problem. Do you know of a way I can reset the light. The emissions places are different one place failed me another passed me. I'm so confused. The shop I took it to checked it and said there was no leak. Emissions says it is. I have a 2002 jeep Gr. Cherokee.

Help

Reset the light as in make it go away? Un hook the bat for a few hours. This will reset the comp. Or take it back to the shop and ask them to clear it.

Pulled from the AllDataPro info:
SYMPTOM
P0455-EVAP LEAK MONITOR LARGE LEAK DETECTED

TEST NOTE
All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests. The title for the tests will be P0442-EVAP LEAK MONITOR MEDIUM (0.040) LEAK DETECTED.

Immediately after a cold start, with battery/ambient temperature between 40 °F and 90 °F and coolant temperature within 10 °F of battery/ambient.

If there is a leak larger than 0.080" in the evaporative system.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

* Leak at Gas Cap

for mine I reset the PCM right before I went in for the test. This made the light stay off for about 8 start up/ shutdowns

Heres the info on how to reset the PCM

Have you changed the gas cap?

Can you read those or did it convert them to "super tiny"?
