I saw somewhere that gas cap is typical misdiagnosis. And I've seen references to leaks in canister or elsewhere.

Is this code for low pressure or high?

Help!
P0453 is the code for the pressure sensor being above the upper limit, usually because of a short on the B+ wire. The repair tree is to check the wiring running from the pressure sensor at the tank to the DME, repairing any faults.
