WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 Lincoln Navigator, 2015 Lincoln MKZ, 2015 Lincoln MKX, 2015 Lincoln MKT, and 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0451 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH RANGE/PERFORMANCE - DTC CHART

Description:  This DTC sets when a fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor range (offset) concern is detected. The FTP sensor output is offset by greater than 1.7 inches of water or less than -1.7 inches of water.
Possible Causes: 
  • FTP circuit intermittent open
  • FTP circuit intermittent short
  • FTP sensor intermittent open
  • FTP sensor intermittent short
  • Contaminated FTP sensor
  • 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.
