Conditions

EVAP Tank Pressure Sensor. Performance Problem.





Fault symptoms
- Market US/CA: CHECK ENGINE

On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:
- Once per driving cycle. Interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled or OK reported. Restarts next driving cycle.

Enable criteria:
- General conditions for this trouble code: Atmospheric pressure must exceed 72 kPa and the engine coolant and intake air temperature must exceed -7 °C.
- Accepted transition diagnosis of oxygen sensor 1. Purge active. Idling. Max. one change in status of brake light switch. Purge adaptation higher than -7%. Car stationary for 8 s.
The diagnosis will start once the above conditions have been fulfilled. If the diagnosis is interrupted then the speed must exceed 0 on one occasion before it is allowed to restart.

Fault criteria:
- Tank pressure pulsating at a frequency higher than 5.6 Hz with an amplitude exceeding 0.020 kPa.

Dependents:
- P0444, P0445, P0501, P0502, P0506, P0507, P1444, P1445, P1576 and P1577.

System reaction to a fault:
- Integrity diagnosis of purge system blocked.

OK report:
- Diagnoses for P1451, P1452 and P1453 performed once and fault criteria not fulfilled. Fault criteria for P0452 or P0453 not fulfilled.

Fault handling: Fault Handling III, Other Emission-Related Comp. & Function
- Type III.

Diagnostic help
Fault diagnosis concerns electrical faults in connected leads or in the sensor.

Diagnostic tool functions related to this fault are:
- Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
- Tank pressure value, unit kPa. The value should be approx. 0 kPa with the filler cap removed. When the car is stationary, the value should be stable.

See also the description of test values under "Fault diagnosis, general" for more information.

Check the wiring
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at various points and in different directions to detect any intermittent breaks or short circuit in the wiring. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.
