First drive cycle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Honda S2000, 2008 Honda S2000, 2007 Honda S2000, and 2006 Honda S2000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

During the first drive cycle after a cold start, the ECM alerts the driver to check the fuel fill cap by showing a "CHECK FUEL CAP" message in the odometer/outside temperature display (A), and it stores Temporary DTC P0457 "Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Leak Detected/Fuel Fill Cap Loose or Missing". Tightening the fuel cap does not make the message go off immediately.
