Check Your Gas Cap To Avoid The Diag Charge From The Dealer To Make Sure It's Tightened

It Could Be A Leak In Your Fuel System But 90% Of The Time I Get A Evap Code From A Honda Its Because The Cap Is Not Tightened

I had the same code it was my gas cap. Just make sure it's tight enough and it will go away after a few miles.
