DTC P1458  : FTP Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem

NOTE: 

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P1458 FTP Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Fuel level check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Note these recorded on-board snapshot parameters with the HDS:

    • MAX Value of FTP SENSOR
    • MIN Value of FTP SENSOR
    • FUEL LEVEL

    On-board Snapshot

    - 3. Check the FUEL LEVEL in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    FUEL LEVEL    

    Is the current FUEL LEVEL less than it is on the on-board snapshot?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Drain the fuel until the FUEL LEVEL is less than it is on the on-board snapshot, then go to step 2.

  2. Determine possible failure area (FTP sensor, others)

    - 1. Select the EVAP TEST in the INSPECTION MENU, then select the EVAP CVS OFF in the SINGLE SOLENOID with the HDS.

    SINGLE SOLENOID

    Take a snapshot with the HDS for 3 minutes without starting the engine.

    - 3. Check the recorded snapshot parameter with the HDS:

    • MAX Value of FTP SENSOR (FINE)
    • MIN Value of FTP SENSOR (FINE)
    GHH307828Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Are the MAX and MIN values of the FTP SENSOR (FINE) within the range of ±0.67 kPa (0.2 inHg, 5 mmHg)?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  3. FTP sensor performance check 1

    - 1. Check the FTP SENSOR (FINE) in the recorded snapshot with the HDS.

    Does it vary 0.067 kPa (0.02 inHg, 0.5 mmHg) or more within 3 seconds?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the PCM. Also check for a blockage in the EVAP vent hose. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .

  4. FTP sensor performance check 2

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the FTP sensor.

    - 3. Reconnect the following connector.

    FTP sensor 3P connector

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    FTP SENSOR (FINE)    

    Does it vary 0.067 kPa (0.02 inHg, 0.5 mmHg) or more within 3 seconds?

    YES 

    Replace the FTP sensor .

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the PCM. Also check for a blockage in the EVAP vent hose. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .

  5. Determine possible failure area (EVAP canister vent line, others)

    - 1. Insert the emergency fuel funnel into the fuel filler neck, and wait 1 minute.

    NOTE:  The emergency fuel funnel is stored in the maintenance lid of the left side trim panel.

    - 2. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    FTP SENSOR (FINE) More than 0.67 kPa    
    Less than -0.67 kPa

    Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Remove the emergency fuel funnel from the fuel filler neck, then go to step 8.

  6. FTP sensor vent hose check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the FTP sensor.

    - 3. Reconnect the following connector.

    FTP sensor 3P connector

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    FTP SENSOR (FINE) More than 0.67 kPa    
    Less than -0.67 kPa

    Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Remove the blockage in the FTP sensor vent hose. Replace the hose if needed.

  7. FTP sensor port visual check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    FTP sensor 3P connector

    - 3. Check for a blockage or damage at the FTP sensor ports (EVAP canister side and vent side).

    Is there any blockage or damage?

    YES 

    Remove the blockage, and replace the FTP sensor if needed.

    NO 

    Replace the FTP sensor .

  8. EVAP canister vent shut valve check

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent hose (A) from the EVAP canister (B), then connect a vacuum pump/gauge, 0 - 30 inHg, to the EVAP canister as shown.

    GHH307830Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Select the EVAP TEST in the INSPECTION MENU, then select the EVAP CVS OFF in the SINGLE SOLENOID with the HDS.

    SINGLE SOLENOID

    Try to apply vacuum to the valve (not more than 5.3 kPa (1.6 inHg, 40 mmHg)) while checking the FTP SENSOR (FINE) in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    NOTE:  To avoid damaging the FTP sensor, do not apply more than 5.3 kPa (1.6 inHg, 40 mmHg) of vacuum.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    FTP SENSOR (FINE)    

    Does the valve hold more than 1.3 kPa (0.4 inHg, 10 mmHg) of vacuum?

    YES 

    Replace the EVAP canister vent shut valve .

    NO 

    The EVAP canister vent shut valve is OK. Remove the blockage in the EVAP canister vent hose. Replace the hose if needed.
