DTC P0452: Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low

P0452 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH LOW

For Vehicles With NVLD Module 
Description:  The natural vacuum leak detection (NVLD) module monitors the position of the NVLD module pressure switch. This DTC sets if the NVLD module pressure switch voltage is out of range low.
Possible Causes: 
  • NVLD module VBATT circuit open
  • Damaged NVLD module
Diagnostic Aids: 
For All Others 
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 open
  • FTPREF or VREF circuit open
  • FTP circuit short to ground or SIGRTN
  • Damaged FTP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  An FTP voltage 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
