DTC P1451: Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Range/Performance; DTC P1452: Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Low Input; DTC P1453: Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor High Input [10/2017 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Toyota Highlander, 2018 Toyota Highlander, and 2017 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CONFIRM DTC AND FUEL TANK PRESSURE
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) (do not start the engine).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Vapor Pressure Tank.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
Tester Display Vapor Pressure Tank - Read the fuel tank pressure displayed on the Techstream.

- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Clear DTCs
- Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Perform the Evaporative System Check using the Techstream, referring to the Confirmation Driving Pattern.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Utility
Tester Display All Readiness - Input the DTC: P1451, P1452 or P1453.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
Result
Techstream Display Description NORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE - DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A - Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
