Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor

The following procedure is used to diagnose the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor -G400- which is controlled by Engine Control Module -J623-.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements 

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK.

Start diagnosis 

Checking voltage 

Crank the engine.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor -G400- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) for voltage.

Specified value: battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring from the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor -G400- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 8/87 for an open circuit or a short circuit to Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

Checking wiring connections

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor -G400- electrical harness connector terminal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T94 terminal for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+) or Ground (GND).

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY.

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE.

-- End diagnosis.

If the DTC returns and no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY.
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY.
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE.
