How do I fix P0456?

The p0456 code is a generic OBD-II code that indicates a small leak in the evaporative emission control system (EVAP). The EVAP system captures and recirculates fuel vapors from the fuel tank and engine. This code may be caused by a loose or damaged gas cap, a faulty canister purge solenoid, a faulty canister vent solenoid, or a faulty canister.
