J : P0452, P0453. FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR LOW/HIGH INPUT.

NOTE:

- Prior to commencing this test, Electronic Engine Controls, Diagnosis and Testing, sensor supply and ground circuits. Electronic Engine Controls
- Access to the FTP sensor involves the removal of the fuel tank. To reduce the amount of work necessary, a slave harness and sensor could be used. This can be connected at the access port beneath the rear seat. Tests can then be carried out via the slave harness and sensor. Tests can then be carried out via the slave harness and sensor. If system operation is normal with the slave harness and sensor, the fault lies in the vehicle�s harness or sensor.

J1 : CHECK FTPS SIGNAL WIRE FOR CONTINUITY UP TO CONNECTOR CA5.
1. Disconnect PCM electrical connector, PI01.
2. Disconnect FTPS electrical connector, FP002.
3. Check for continuity between PI01, pin 104 (RG) and FP002, pin 3 (RG)

This test will not check the continuity of the harness from FP002 to FP001. If the circuit is continuous to FP002, the fuel tank must be removed and the harness and sensor continuity checked.

Is the circuit continuous?

Yes

INSTALL a new FTPS, (and/or harness, FP002 to FP001) CLEAR the DTC. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave switched on for minimum 30 seconds. Recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. If the DTC is repeated, INSTALL a new PCM. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
REPAIR the circuit between PI01, pin 104 (RG) and FP002, pin 3 (RG) CLEAR the DTC. Carry out a full Evap system monitor drive cycle. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Recheck DTCs. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

J2 : CHECK FTPS SUPPLY WIRE FOR SHORT TO GROUND UP TO CONNECTOR FP002
1. Measure the resistance between FP002, pin 6 (OY) and ground.

Is the resistance less than 10,000 Ohms?

Yes

REPAIR the short to ground. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave switched on for minimum 30 seconds. Recheck DTCs. For `additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
Goto J3

J3 : CHECK FTPS SIGNAL WIRE FOR SHORT TO GROUND, UP TO CONNECTOR FP002.
1. Connect PCM electrical connector, PI01.
2. Measure the resistance between FP002, pin 3 (RG) and ground.

Is the resistance less than 10,000 Ohms?

Yes

REPAIR the short to ground. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave switched on for minimum 30 seconds. Recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
Goto J4

J4 : CHECK FTPS SIGNAL WIRE FOR SHORT TO BATTERY, UP TO CONNECTOR FP002
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check for a voltage at FP002, pin 3 (RG)

Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?

Yes

REPAIR the short to battery. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave switched on for minimum 30 seconds. Recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
Goto J5

J5 : CHECK FTPS GROUND WIRE FOR SHORT TO BATTERY, UP TO CONNECTOR FP002
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check for a voltage at FP002, pin 2 (BG)

Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?

Yes

REPAIR the short to battery. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. Carry out a full Evap system monitor drive cycle, recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
Goto J2

J6 : CHECK FTPS SUPPLY WIRE FOR SHORT TO BATTERY UP TO CONNECTOR FP002
1. Connect PCM electrical connector, PI01.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Check for a voltage at FP002, pin 6 (OY)

This test will not check the integrity of the harness from FP002 to FT1. If the circuit is sound to FP002, the fuel tank must be removed and the harness and sensor continuity checked.

Is the voltage greater than 5 volts?

Yes

REPAIR the short to battery. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. Carry out a full Evap system monitor drive cycle, recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. Diagnostic Drive Cycles

No
INSTALL a new FTPS, (and/or harness, FP002 to FT1) CLEAR the DTC. Carry out a full Evap system monitor drive cycle, recheck DTCs. For additional information, see 'diagnostic drive cycles'. If the DTC is repeated, INSTALL a new PCM. Diagnostic Drive Cycles
