Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Swift + and 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary between 0.1-4.7 volts. As fuel tank pressure increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure = low voltage. As fuel tank pressure decreases, FTP voltage increases, low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.
