P0453 - Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch High

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.
P0453 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH HIGH

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 jumps above a minimum allowable calibrated parameter.
Possible Causes: 
  • FTP circuit open
  • VREF short to voltage
  • FTP circuit short to voltage
  • SIG RTN circuit open
  • Damaged FTP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  An FTP voltage parameter identification (PID) reading greater than 4.85 volts with the ignition ON, engine OFF or with the ignition ON, engine running, indicates a concern is present.
