DTC P051A-15: Crankcase Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High Circuit Short to Battery or Open [10/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2023 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    HINT: 

    Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

    Pre-procedure1

    • Disconnect the vacuum sensor assembly connector.
    • Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    • Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      B45-3 (VC) - B45-1 (E2) Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V V
      B45-2 (PPC1) - B45-1 (E2) Ignition switch ON 3.0 to 5.5 V V

    Pre-procedure2

    • Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
    • Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      B45-3 (VC) - B45-2 (PPC1) Ignition switch off 171 to 189 kΩ
      B45-1 (E2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω Ω

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE VACUUM SENSOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VACUUM SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ECM) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • Disconnect the vacuum sensor assembly connector.
    • Disconnect the ECM connector.
    • Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      B45-2 (PPC1) - B27-66 (PPC1) Always Below 1 Ω Ω
      B45-1 (E2) - B27-64 (EIPC) Always Below 1 Ω Ω
      B45-2 (PPC1) or B27-66 (PPC1) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
