Hi bones2782,

There are a few test that you need to carry out to confirm what is wrong.

DTC P1457: EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM LEAKAGE (EVAP CANISTER SYSTEM)

NOTE: The fuel system is designed to allow specified maximum vacuum and pressure conditions. Do not deviate from the vacuum and pressure tests as indicated in these procedures. Excessive pressure/vacuum would damage the EVAP components or cause eventual fuel tank system failure.

Special Tools Required
Vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 in.Hg A973X-041-XXXXX
Suitable tester/scanner.
