4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P0451-P0453: Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Range / Performance


DTC SUMMARY





HINT
The canister pressure sensor is built into the canister pump module.

DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System EVAP System.

HINT
Unit expressions

- (kPa-a [mmHg-a]) denotes the absolute pressure.
- (kPa-g [mmHg-g]) denotes the gauge pressure (relative pressure).
- On the Techstream, convert the unit of measurement according to the inspection procedure.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION





- DTC P0451: Canister pressure sensor abnormal voltage fluctuation or being constant

- If the canister pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as the canister pressure sensor voltage fluctuating, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.

- Alternatively, if the sensor voltage output does not change for 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as the sensor being stuck, and stops the monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC. (Both the malfunctions are detected by 2 trip detection logic.)

- DTC P0452: Canister pressure sensor voltage low

- If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is below 0.45 V (42.11 kPa-a (315.83 mmHg-a)), the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).

- DTC P0453: Canister pressure sensor voltage high

- If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is 4.9 V (123.76 kPa-a (928.21 mmHg-a) or more, the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





NOTICE:
- The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 5 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
- Do not run the engine during this operation.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Intake Air.

- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) DTC Check / Clear.

- Turn the engine switch off.

- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode [A].

- After the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All readiness.

- Input the DTC: P0451, P0452 or P0453.

- Check the DTC judgment result [B].





HINT
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

- If the test result is UNKNOWN, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes / Pending.

- Read Pending DTCs.

HINT
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

- If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
- When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle condition. For example, do not tighten the fuel cap.
- Do not disassemble the canister pump module.
- The Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
PROCEDURE

1. CONFIRM DTC AND EVAP PRESSURE

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) (do not start the engine).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(e) Read the DTCs.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Vapor Pressure Pump.

(g) Read the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) pressure displayed on the Techstream.

Result:





C -- GO TO EVAP SYSTEM EVAP System

B -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CANISTER PUMP MODULE - ECM)
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CANISTER PUMP MODULE - ECM)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.





(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

NOTICE:
When replacing the canister, check the canister pump module interior and related pipes for water, fuel and other liquids. If liquids are present, check for disconnections and/or cracks in the following: 1) the pipe from the air inlet port to the canister pump module; 2) the canister filter; and 3) the fuel tank vent hose.
