mine's been throwing the 0456 code for over a month, it hasn't affected my rig at all. i also have no plans on fixing it anytime soon. go ahead and drive.

This is what I did for the Second time yesterday and I finally found a hose on the top that was cracked. I had to remove each hose before I found it but I finally found it. I reset the computer and towed my boat all day yesterday and so far no engine light. Hopefully I fixed it, I guess we will see. Good luck.

How did you check the cap...just glancing at it doesn't count. Replace it
