DTC P0451: Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (Ftps) Range/Performance Problem

  1. Perform PCM reset procedure. See PCM RESET PROCEDURE/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Remove fuel filler cap. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between PCM 22-pin connector terminals D15 (Green/Yellow wire) and D22 (Green/Black wire). If about 2.5 volts are present, go to next step. If about 2.5 volts are not present, check vacuum lines for restriction or blockage. Repair as necessary. If vacuum lines are okay, replace fuel tank pressure sensor.
  2. Disconnect vacuum hose between EVAP 2-way valve and fuel tank pressure sensor at EVAP 2-way valve end. Connect vacuum pump to open end of vacuum hose. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between PCM 22-pin connector terminals D15 (Green/Yellow wire) and D22 (Green/Black wire). Apply vacuum one stroke at a time. If voltage smoothly drops from 2.5 to 1.5 volts and holds, problem is intermittent. Check for poor connections or loose hoses. If voltage does not smoothly drop from 2.5 to 1.5 volts, replace fuel tank pressure sensor.
    CAUTION: Stop applying vacuum when voltage drops to about 1.5 volts. Damage to fuel tank pressure sensor may occur.
