Default Help with DTC 0455

My C5 6 Speed threw a Check engine light. I borrowed a Predator and found DTC 0455, however I have not been able to find it on the look-up list. The full description of the error code stated "Evap Control System (Gross Leak) Leak Detected". If anyone has any suggestions and corrective action please advise.

First, you should post the full DTC .... the starting letter (P,C, etc) tells if it is a Powertrain (P) code, and because it is possible to have multiple codes with the same number (P1234, B1234, C1234) .. also post the C or H listed at the end of the code (or both if listed).

You don't need a scanner to read the codes from a C5 Corvette .....

In fact the car will display codes from systems like the SDM that a Predator (and most every other scanner) can't read.
