DTC P0452: - Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low

DTC 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 parameter identification (PID) reading less than 0.22 volt with the ignition on, engine off or ignition on, engine running, indicates a concern is present.
