Circuit/System Description
|
The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal in order to detect vacuum decay and excess vacuum during the evaporative emission (EVAP) diagnostic test. The control module supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference circuit to the FTP sensor. This DTC sets if the engine control module (ECM) detects one of the following conditions:
•
|
The FTP sensor signal voltage is not within a calibrated range on a cold start-up.
|
•
|
The FTP sensor signal oscillates greater than a calibrated amount when vehicle speed is within a predetermined range.
|
The following table illustrates the relationship between FTP sensor signal voltage and the EVAP system pressure/vacuum.

Fuel Tank Pressure
|
High, Approximately 1.5 V or More
|
Negative Pressure/Vacuum
|
Low, Approximately 1.5 V or Less

|
1.
|
Ignition OFF, remove the fuel fill cap. Connect the
GE-41415-50

|
3.
|
Pressurize the EVAP system with nitrogen to 9.33 mm/Hg (5 in/H2O). Compare the scan tool Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter to the

EEST pressure/vacuum gauge. Verify the scan tool FTP sensor parameter is within +/-0.9 mmHg (+/-0.5 in.H2O) of the pressure/vacuum gauge.
|
4.
|
If not within the specified range, replace the B150 FTP sensor.
|
5.
|
Command the Q13 EVAP vent solenoid valve OPEN with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool FTP sensor parameter is -0.9 to +0.9 mmHg (-0.5 to +0.5 in.H2O).
