Vent fuel tank by removing fuel filler cap. Ensure ignition is off. On Optima & Magentis (Canadian), remove fuel pump access cover in trunk. On Rio, Sedona and Sorento, locate FTP sensor 3-pin harness connector under rear seat, through fuel pump assembly access panel on vehicle floor. Disconnect FTP sensor harness connector. Check resistance between FTP sensor connector terminals. See Fig 1 and FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table. If FTP sensor is not as specified, replace FTP sensor.
