P0455 on Infiniti
Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak)
P0455 on Infiniti vehicles indicates evaporative emission control system leak detected (gross leak). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Infiniti model — most commonly on FX50. This code means your car's evaporative emission (EVAP) system has detected a large (gross) leak, so fuel vapors that should be sealed inside the fuel and vapor system are escaping into the atmosphere. The EVAP system captures gasoline vapors from the tank and routes them to the engine to be burned instead of polluting the air, and the computer periodically pressure- or vacuum-tests this sealed system. A gross leak almost always points to something obvious and easy, like a loose, missing, or bad gas cap, rather than a deep mechanical failure. It rarely affects how the car drives, but it should be fixed to pass emissions and stop wasting fuel vapor. Typical repair costs on Infiniti range from $40 to $450, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0455
- •Loose, missing, or improperly tightened gas cap
- •Worn, cracked, or failed gas cap seal
- •Cracked or disconnected EVAP/vapor hose
- •Damaged or missing fuel filler neck seal
- •Faulty EVAP purge valve stuck open
- •Failed EVAP vent valve
- •Cracked or damaged charcoal canister

- EVAP Leak / Check Engine Light from Fuel Vapor Components2009-2013
Owners occasionally report check-engine lights caused by EVAP system leaks, often related to the gas cap, purge control valve, vent valve, or associated hoses. These faults usually do not affect drivability much, but they can prevent emissions readiness and trigger recurring warning lights.
