FUEL TANK PRESSURE (FTP) SENSOR
| Refer to COMPONENT INDEX . |
The FTP Sensor is located on the Recirculation Tube. It measures the pressure in the Evaporative Emissions System and converts it into a voltage. The PCM uses the FTP Sensor for the purge system performance diagnostics (P0441). The Sensor is used in the following manner:
- When the Purge Solenoid is actuated and the PCM monitors the change in the FTP Sensor reading over time. The PCM expects to see the pressure/vacuum reading decrease more than a calibrated threshold.
- When the Purge Solenoid is then deactivated and the PCM monitors the change again over time. The PCM expects to see the pressure reading increase more than a calibrated threshold over a period of time.
