WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DESCRIPTION Evaporator system: clogging between fuel tank and fuel tank pressure sensor
DETECTION CONDITION  Determination conditions
  • The following conditions are all met while the vehicle is being driven:
  • If negative pressure is inducted to the fuel tank via the intake manifold by the operation of the purge solenoid valve with the fuel tank in a sealed condition and the target negative pressure is reached within a shorter period of time than the estimated time.
  • When the barometric pressure in the fuel tank is fixed and the purge solenoid valve is opened/closed, the negative pressure fluctuation in the fuel tank generates negative pressure exceeding the threshold.
Preconditions
  • Period ignition is switched off before engine is started: 120 min or more 
  • Engine coolant temperature at engine start: 1.67-43.33 °C {35.1-109.9 °F} *1
  • Time elapsed from engine start: 5.5-90 min 
  • Fuel level in fuel tank: 10-90 % *1
  • Desired ambient air temperature: 4.4-43.3 °C {40-109 °F} *1
  • Barometric pressure: 72.23 Pa {7.365 kgf/m 2  , 0.01048 psi} or more *1
  • Charging efficiency: 3-65 % *1
  • Vehicle speed: 64-144.8 km/h {40.00-89.97 mph} *1
  • Purge flow amount: 15 l/min or more 
  • *1 : Value can be verified by displaying PIDs using M-MDS
Malfunction determination period
  • 75 s period 
Drive cycle
  • 1
Self test type
  • CMDTC self test
Sensor used
  • Fuel tank pressure sensor
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • Fuel tank pressure sensor signal malfunction
  • Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction
  • Fuel tank pressure sensor malfunction
  • Clogging between fuel tank and fuel tank pressure sensor
  • Pressure control valve malfunction
