Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary between 0.1-4.9 volts. As FTP increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure, = low voltage. As FTP decreases, FTP sensor voltage increases low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.
