P0454

If, during the engine-off natural vacuum small leak test, P0442, the ECM detects an abrupt fuel tank pressure signal change, other than a refueling

event, this DTC will set. An abrupt change is defined as a change of 0.45 inch H2O in the span of 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs.

* DTCs P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

* DTCs P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs

* DTCs P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs

Diagnostic Aids

P0451 and P0454

* A restriction in the EVAP canister or vent lines could prevent fuel vapor pressure from bleeding off fast enough. If the vent system cannot

bleed off pressure fast enough, the re-zero procedure may not complete successfully, which could cause this code to set.

* Ensure that the reference port on the fuel tank pressure sensor is unobstructed.

* An fuel tank pressure sensor that is skewed or does not have a linear transition from low to high may cause this code to set. Scan tool output

controls, snapshot, and plot functions can help detect erratic sensor response. To test the sensor signal under vacuum conditions, use the

Quick Snapshot and the Purge/Seal functions to capture data while commanding purge to 20 percent, then plot the data to look for erratic

sensor operation. A similar test can be done for the pressure side of the sensor operation by applying pressure with the J 41413-200 - EEST

while taking a snapshot.

Special Tools

J 41413-200 - Evaporative Emission System Tester (EEST)

Circuit/System Verification

1. Remove the fuel cap.

2. Ignition ON, engine OFF.

3. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool.

4. The Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter should be 1.3-1.7 V.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B150 fuel tank pressure sensor.

2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
