P0452 - Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. 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 short to GND or SIG RTN
  • Damaged FTP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  An FTP voltage PID reading less than 0.22 volt with the ignition ON, engine OFF or with the ignition ON, engine running indicates a concern is present.
