Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0448 EVAP Vent solenoid Circuit Short
060RY00398
Circuit Description
The canister purge solenoid valve is controlled by the
Power Train Control Module (PCM). The PCM monitors
vacuum level via the fuel tank pressure sensor input.
At an appropriate time, the EVAP canister vent solenoid is
ªON,º allowing engine vacuum to draw a small vacuum on
the entire evaporative emissions system.
Conditions for setting the DTC

The Ignition is ªONº.

Engine is running.

System voltage is between 11.5 volts and 16 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set in the Failure Records data only.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P0448 will clear after 40 consecutive trip
cycles during which the warm up cycles have occurred
without a fault.
DTC P0448 can be cleared using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:

Poor connections.

Misrouted harness.

Rubbed through wire insulation.

Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
EVAP vent valve display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of
the fault. If DTC P0448 cannot be duplicated, the
information included in the Failure Records data can
be useful in determined vehicle mileage since the
DTC was last set.
If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P0448 Diagnostic Chart may
isolate the cause of the fault.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0452 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (Vapor Pressure Sensor) Low Voltage
060R200050
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors fuel tank
pressure sensor (Vapor pressure sensor) of the
Enhanced Evap system. When the tank pressure output
indicates low voltage, PCM will set DTC P0452.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

Tank sensor output is less than 0.2 volts for 12.5 sec.

100 test failures within a 200 tests.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in Failure
Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0402 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P0404 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Open circuit of 5 volt reference line ± Inspect wiring
harness from PCM to the sensor. The PCM turns
P0452, and P0107 at the same time.

Open circuit or short circuit to ground line ± Inspect
wiring harness from PCM to the sensor. The PCM turns
P0452 and P0107 at the same time.

Tank fuel pressure sensor malfunction may cause
P0452.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0456 EVAP Very Small Leak
060R200050
Circuit Description
The evaporative system includes the following
components:

Fuel tank

EVAP canister vent solenoid

Fuel tank (vapor) pressure sensor

Vapor lines

Fuel cap

Evaporative emissions canister

Purge lines

EVAP canister purge solenoid
The evaporative leak detection diagnostic strategy is
based on applying vacuum to the EVAP system and
monitoring vacuum decay. The powertrain control
module(PCM)monitors vacuum level via the fuel tank
pressure sensor input. At an appropriate time, the
EVAP canister purge solenoid and the EVAP
canister vent solenoid are turned ªONº, allowing
engine vacuum to draw a very small look on the
entire evaporative emissions system. After the
desired vacuum level has been achieved, the EVAP
canister purge solenoid is turned ªOFFº, sealing the
system. A leak is detected by monitoring for a
decrease in vacuum level over a given time period,
all other variables remaining constant.
A very small leak in the system will cause DTC
P0456 to be set.
Conditions for setting the DTC

No MAP DTC's set.

No TPS DTC's set.

No IAT DTC's set.

No ECT DTC's set.

No tank pressure sensor DTC's set.

Baro is more than 70KPa.

Fuel level is between 40% and 80%.

Throttle angle is less than 3%.

Engine speed is less than 1200 RPM.

Vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

A vacuum decay condition, indicating a very small leak,
is detected during the diagnostic test.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

The PCM will store condition which were present when
the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the Failure
Records data.
Warm up cycles have occurred without a fault.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Cracked or punctured EVAP canister.

Damaged source vacuum line, EVAP purge line, EVAP
vent hose or fuel tank vapor line. to wire connection.

Poor connection at PCM±Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness to the
EVAP canister purge solenoid and the fuel tank
pressure sensor for an intermittent open or short
circuit.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine
how often the condition that caused the DTC to be
set occurs.
This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
