DTC P0451: Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Range/Performance

P0451 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH RANGE/PERFORMANCE

For Vehicles With NVLD Module 
Description:  This DTC sets when the natural vacuum leak detection (NVLD) module pressure switch does not respond to pressure changes in the EVAP system.
Possible Causes: 
  • NVLD module pressure switch stuck open or closed
Diagnostic Aids: 
For All Others 
Description:  This DTC sets when the PCM detects a fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor range (offset) concern. The FTP sensor output is offset by greater than 1.7 inches of water or less than - 1.7 inches of water.
Possible Causes: 
  • Intermittent open or short in the FTP sensor or the FTP sensor signal circuit
  • Contaminated or damaged FTP sensor
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  With the FTP sensor at atmospheric pressure, the FTP PID normally indicates 0 inches of water. Remove the fuel filler cap or, for vehicles with a capless fuel filler pipe, install the supplemental refueling adaptor provided with the vehicle to open the capless fuel tank filler pipe. After installing the supplemental refueling adaptor or removing the fuel filler cap, wait one minute to allow the pressure in the fuel tank to equalize with the ambient air pressure before accessing the PID.
