DTC P0452: Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0452 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the evaporative emission (EVAP) control system fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor input signal to the PCM. The test fails when the signal average drops below a minimum allowable calibrated parameter.
Possible Causes: 
  • Contamination internal to the FTP sensor connector
  • FTP circuit shorted to GND or SIG RTN
  • Damaged FTP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  An FTP V PID reading less than 0.22 volt in key ON, engine OFF or key ON, engine running indicates a concern is present.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory
