DTC P1448 FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE RANGE PERFORMANCE

DTC P1448 FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE RANGE PERFORMANCE

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the tank pressure switching solenoid function abnormality.

The tank pressure sensor is a relative pressure sensor, which normally compares the pressure with the atmospheric pressure. The tank pressure switching solenoid is a solenoid, which shifts the compare space from opening to closed during the EVAP diagnosis. Detect the malfunction that the compare space remains closed. (Not judge NG after enable condition completed but assume NG before enable condition completed.)

Normality Judgment

Judge OK when the fuel tank pressure does not change (or changes by less than 0.6 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.2 inHg)) at atmospheric pressure changing by 0.6 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.2 inHg) or more per 80 seconds.


(A)

Enable conditions are completed.

(F)

PCV function reduces the tank pressure.

(B)

80 s

(G)

Judge OK when the tank pressure does not change

(C)

Pressure

(D)

Atmospheric pressure

(H)

The tank pressure is relative pressure against atmospheric pressure.

(E)

Tank pressure

(I)

Atmospheric pressure is absolute pressure.



Abnormality Judgment

Judge NG temporarily when the fuel tank pressure changes by 0.6 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.2 inHg) or more at atmospheric pressure changing by 0.6 kPa (4.5 mmHg, 0.2 inHg) or more per 80 seconds, and then judge NG when the previous condition is completed 5 times in a row.


(A)

Enable conditions are completed.

(F)

Judge NG temporarily the tank pressure changes once, and then judge NG the tank pressure changes five times in a row.

(B)

80 s

(C)

Pressure

(D)

Atmospheric pressure

(G)

The tank pressure sensor outputs the valve that is relative pressure against the compare space 101.3 kPa (760 mmHg, 29.29 inHg)

(E)

Tank pressure

(H)

Atmospheric pressure is absolute pressure.
