DTC P0452: EVAP System (CPC) Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Low: Notes

DTC detecting condition:

Immediately at fault recognition

CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>General Description>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .

CHECK DATA MONITOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the value of [Barometric Pressure].
  Data Monitor
  NOTE:
  - SUBARU SELECT MONITOR For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DATA MONITOR .
  - General scan tool For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.
Is the value in [Barometric Pressure] 34 kPa (255 mmHg, 10 inHg) or less?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time.

Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from the leak check valve assembly.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Measure the voltage between the leak check valve assembly connector and chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (R400) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the voltage 4.5 V or more?

Yes: Go to 3.

No: Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
- Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and the leak check valve assembly connector
- Poor contact of ECM connector
- Poor contact of coupling connector
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B134) No. 61 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 4.

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and leak check valve assembly connector.
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT .
Check for poor contact of leak check valve assembly connector.

Is there poor contact in the leak check valve assembly connector?

Yes: Repair the poor contact in the leak check valve assembly connector.

No: Replace the leak check valve assembly. Ref. to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (H4DO)>LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY .
