DTC P0451: EVAP Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Circuit Performance: Description

The control module monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor signal in order to detect vacuum decay and excess vacuum during the evaporative emission (EVAP) diagnostic test. The control module supplies a 5-volt reference and a low reference circuit to the FTP sensor. If the FTP sensor signal voltage is not within a calibrated value range during a cold engine start, this DTC sets. See RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FTP SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE & FUEL TANK PRESSURE .

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FTP SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE & FUEL TANK PRESSURE

FTP Sensor Signal Voltage Fuel Tank Pressure
High, Approximately 2.5 Volts Or More Positive Pressure
Low, Approximately 2.5 Volts Or Less Negative Pressure/Vacuum
