DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P1454
DTC P1454: Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem
General Description
The fuel tank pressure is about 0 kPa (0 mmHg, 0 inHg) when starting a cold engine. When the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor output value is out of a specified range and the powertrain control module (PCM) judges that there's no other cause [no evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent shut valve failure, etc.] for the FTP sensor zero point shift, the PCM detects an FTP sensor malfunction. However, if the FTP sensor output when starting the engine, is a prescribed negative value or less (excessive negative pressure is detected), the malfunction judgment should be done as follows because it is difficult to distinguish the FTP sensor zero point shift (P1454) from the EVAP canister vent shut valve failure (P2422).
- If neither Pending DTCs (P1454 nor P2422) are stored, both Pending DTCs are stored when excessive vacuum is detected at engine start.
- If both Pending DTCs (P1454 and P2422) are stored and excessive vacuum is detected, both Confirmed DTCs are stored.
- If either Pending DTC (P1454 or P2422) is stored and excessive vacuum is detected, the PCM stores the Confirmed DTC which the Pending DTC is stored.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type
| Execution | Once per driving cycle |
| Sequence | P0452, P0453 are judged as OK |
| Duration | 8.0 seconds or more |
| DTC Type | Two drive cycles, MIL on |
Enable Conditions
| Condition | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Elapsed time after starting the engine | 10 seconds | - |
| Other | The EVAP canister vent shut valve is open | |
| The EVAP canister purge valve is closed (the system is not purging) | ||
Malfunction Threshold
- The FTP sensor output fluctuates by 0.67 kPa (5.00 mmHg, 0.197 inHg) or more, or -0.67 kPa (-5.00 mmHg, -0.197 inHg) or less, for at least 8.0 seconds.
- The FTP sensor output [FTP Sensor] value is -1.34 kPa (-10.00 mmHg, -0.394 inHg) or less for at least 8.0 seconds.

Possible Cause
The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- FTP sensor failure
Confirmation Procedure
Operating Condition
- Start the engine, and let it idle until the radiator fan comes on.
- When the diagnosis does not finish at idle, drive at 30 - 75 mph (48 - 120 km/h) at EVAP canister purge valve duty [EVAP PC Duty] 20 % or more.
- Drive the vehicle in the manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
