Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step determines if the condition is present.
  1. 4:  This step tests the signal circuit of the FTP sensor.
  2. 5:  This step tests the ground circuit of the FTP sensor.
  3. 6:  This step tests the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor.

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Remove the fuel cap.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor voltage parameter with a scan tool.
Is the voltage parameter more than the specified value?
4.8 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
  1. Install the fuel cap.
  2. Disconnect the FTP sensor.
  3. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor voltage parameter with a scan tool.
Is the voltage parameter more than the specified value?
0.2 V Go to Step 7  Go to Step 5 
Measure the resistance between the low reference circuit of the FTP sensor and the engine control module (ECM) housing with a DMM.
Is the resistance less than the specified value?
2 Ω Go to Step 6  Go to Step 8 
Measure the voltage of the FTP 5-volt reference circuit with a DMM. Refer to Measuring Voltage in Wiring Systems.
Is the voltage within the specified range?
4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 10  Go to Step 11 
7 Test the FTP signal circuit for a short to voltage or for a short to a 5-volt reference circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
8 Test the FTP low reference circuit for an open, or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 14  Go to Step 9 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
10 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the FTP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
11
IMPORTANT: The 5-volt reference circuits are internally and externally connected at the ECM. Other component DTCs may be set. If other DTCs are set, review the electrical schematic and diagnosis the applicable circuits and components.
Repair the short to voltage in the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor. Refer to Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation in Wiring Systems.Did you complete the repair?
- Go to Step 14  -
12 Replace the FTP sensor. Refer to Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 14  -
13 Replace the control module. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 14  -

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 2  Go to Step 15 
15 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
