DTC P1448 - FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE RANGE PERFORMANCE

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the tank pressure switching solenoid function abnormality.
The tank pressure sensor is a relative pressure sensor, which normally compares the pressure with the atmospheric pressure. The tank pressure switching solenoid is a solenoid, which shifts the compare space from opening to closed during the EVAP diagnosis. Detect the malfunction that the compare space remains closed. (Not judge NG after enable condition completed but assume NG before enable condition completed.)




- Normality Judgment
Judge OK when the fuel tank pressure does not change (or changes by less than 0.60 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.18 inHg)) at atmospheric pressure changing by 0.60 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.18 inHg) or more per 80 seconds.




- Abnormality Judgment
Judge NG temporarily when the fuel tank pressure changes by 0.60 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.18 inHg) or more at atmospheric pressure changing by 0.60 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.18 inHg) or more per 80 seconds, and then judge NG when the previous condition is completed 5 times in a row.




COMPONENT DESCRIPTION




ENABLE CONDITION

GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Perform the diagnosis continuously when the fuel tank pressure is large or small in 80 seconds or more after starting the engine.

DIAGNOSTIC METHOD




- Abnormality Judgment
Judge NG when the malfunction criteria is completed 5 times.




- Normality Judgment
Judge OK and clear NG when the malfunction criteria is completed.
