Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The evaporative emission (EVAP) system is used to store fuel vapors in order to reduce the amount of fuel vapors into the atmosphere. The fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor is only used for EVAP system diagnostics. The FTP sensor is a transducer that varies resistance according to changes in
the fuel tank pressure. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the FTP sensor signal in order to detect vacuum decay and excess vacuum
during the EVAP system diagnostic test. The ECM supplies a 5-volt reference and a low reference circuit to the FTP sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is operating.
* The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met for 10 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0452
The ECM detects the FTP sensor signal voltage is less than 0.20 volt for 4 seconds, or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
P0453
The ECM detects the FTP sensor signal voltage is greater than 4.85 volts for 4 seconds, or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
If a shared 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground or shorted to a voltage, other 5-volt reference circuits may be affected.
