DTC P0452

Circuit Description

The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the difference between the air pressure or vacuum in the
evaporative emission (EVAP) system, and the outside air pressure. The control module supplies a 5-volt
reference and a low reference circuit to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor signal circuit voltage varies depending
on EVAP system pressure or vacuum. If the FTP sensor signal voltage goes below a calibrated value, this DTC
sets.

The following table illustrates the relationship between the FTP sensor signal voltage and the EVAP system
pressure/vacuum.

DTC P0452

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

z

The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor voltage is less than 0.1 volts.

z

All conditions are present for more than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles

that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

z

A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
