CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank pressure sensor measures the pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank. The PCM provides the sensor with a reference voltage, a signal circuit, and a ground. The sensor returns a signal voltage to the PCM relative to the pressure in the fuel tank. The PCM should see a signal voltage increase as the pressure in the tank decreases (more vacuum). As the pressure in the tank increases (less vacuum), the PCM should see a signal voltage decrease. The PCM uses the sensor signal to test the integrity of the EVAP system. If the PCM detects a signal voltage that is too low, DTC P0452 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The ignition is on.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The fuel tank pressure sensor voltage is less than 0.06 volt for at least 1 second.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
^ The PCM will store the conditions present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Fail Records data.
^ The PCM will disable the EVAP system.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM will turn the MIL OFF after the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic runs and passes.
^ The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
^ The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear DTC Intermittent function.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions
