Integra check engine light and stalling

I own a 2022 Honda Integra with a hybrid engine and 190240 km on the odometer. Recently, the check engine light has illuminated, and I've noticed the engine occasionally stalls at idle. Could this be related to the fuel tank ventilation system? I suspect a leak, possibly due to a defective activated charcoal filter.

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Honda Integra owner experienced a check engine light and occasional stalling at idle, suspecting a fuel tank ventilation system issue, possibly due to a defective activated charcoal filter. The symptoms were consistent with a leak affecting pressure sensor readings. A smoke test at a workshop confirmed the leak in the ventilation system caused by the defective filter, leading to its replacement.

It could be. The symptoms you describe are common when there's an issue with the fuel tank ventilation system. A leak in that system can throw off the pressure sensor readings, which leads to the check engine light. Think of it like a balloon with a tiny hole – the pressure drops, and things don't work as expected. Have you noticed any change in fuel consumption or any unusual smells?

Thank you for the quick reply. No, I haven't observed any significant changes in fuel consumption or unusual smells. Is there a way to confirm whether the activated charcoal filter is indeed the culprit before replacing it?

Without proper diagnostic equipment, it's tough to pinpoint the charcoal filter with certainty. The leak detection system can be finicky. You could try visually inspecting the filter and the surrounding hoses for any obvious cracks or damage, but a proper smoke test at a workshop would give you a definitive answer. Better to be sure than throwing parts at it.

I appreciate the advice. I took it to a trusted mechanic, and after performing a smoke test, they confirmed a leak in the fuel tank ventilation system caused by a defective activated charcoal filter. The total repair cost was 275€. Thank you again for your assistance.
