Circuit/System Description
For an overview of the component/system, refer to: Evaporative Emission Control System Description
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| B150 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor | The pressure sensor is a 3 wire piezoelectric pressure transducer. The sensor measures the pressure in the component: Fuel Tank |
| K20 Engine Control Module | The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly. |
P0496
This diagnostic tests for undesired intake manifold vacuum flow to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP purge solenoid valve off and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve on. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system. If vacuum in the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.
P146C
This diagnostic tests if the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge pump pressure is too low for a given pump speed when the evaporative emission purge solenoid valve is commanded off (closed).
