Advanced DiagnosticsDTC P0453: Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage
General Description
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor is installed on the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister and detects the fuel tank pressure. The FTP sensor is used to detect leaks in the EVAP system. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the FTP sensor output voltage. The FTP sensor output voltage rises as the fuel tank pressure increases. Conversely, the FTP sensor output voltage drops as the fuel tank pressure decreases. If the FTP sensor output voltage is higher than a target value within a set time after starting the engine in a cold condition, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status
Enable Conditions
Malfunction Threshold
The output from the fuel tank pressure sensor is more than 7 kPa (2.1 in.Hg, 55 mmHg) for at least 3.0 seconds.
Driving Pattern
Start the engine in a cold condition, and let it idle until the radiator fan comes on.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored.
Conditions for clearing the MIL
The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
