P0453 Evaporative Emission System-Pressure Sensor High Input - General Information

Component Location





General Description

The evaporative emission control system prevents hydrocarbon vapors from escaping from the fuel system into the atmosphere where they could form photochemical smog. Gasoline vapors are collected in the charcoal canister. The Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (FTPS) is an integral part of the evaporative system testing. The PCM monitors the FTPS signal while checking the system for vacuum decay, valve leakage and restrictions. monitoring pressure and vacuum levels in the fuel tank during the purge control solenoid valve operating cycles.

DTC Description

Checking output signals of fuel tank pressure sensor under detecting condition, if the tank pressure is higher than threthold, PCM sets P0453. MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving cycle.
