Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step verifies that the condition is present.
  2. 5:  This step tests the 5-volt reference of the FTP sensor.
  3. 6:  This step tests if another component is causing the 5-volt reference circuit condition.
  4. 7:  If the scan tool displays 5 volts, the FTP sensor signal circuit, the FTP sensor 5-volt reference circuit, and the control module are OK.
DTC P0452

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference:  Engine Controls Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector End Views or Engine Controls Connector End Views
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2 Is DTC P0641 also set? - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Go to Step 3 
3  Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter less than the specified value?		 0.1 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 4 
4
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 5  Go to Intermittent Conditions
5 
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Disconnect the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor.
  3. Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing .
Is the voltage within the specified value?		 4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
6  Disconnect the following components while monitoring the DMM:
  • The camshaft position (CMP) sensor
  • The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor
  • The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
  • The supercharger inlet pressure (SCIP) sensor
  • The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor
  • The throttle position (TP) sensor
  • The A/C pressure sensor

Is the DMM within the specified value when any of the components are disconnected?		 4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
7 
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor and the signal circuit of the FTP sensor.
  2. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter within the specified value?		 4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 10  Go to Step 9 
8 Test the FTP 5-volt reference circuit for an open or for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 11 
9 Test the FTP signal circuit for an open or for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 11 
10 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the FTP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 13 
11 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 14 
12 Replace the component that affected the 5-volt reference circuit. Refer to the following procedures:
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 15  -
13 Replace the FTP sensor. Refer to Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 15  -
14 Replace the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 15  -
15
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 2  Go to Step 16 
16 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle System OK
