Test Description

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

  1. 2:  This step inspects for a leaking EVAP canister purge solenoid valve.
  2. 4:  Removing the fuel fill cap will equalize the pressure inside the tank with atmospheric pressure. At 0 inches of H2O the FTP sensor should be near 1.5 volts. If the sensor is not, there is a concern with the sensor or related wiring.

  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter within the specified value?		 -0.5 to +0.5 in H2O Go to Diagnostic Aids  Go to Step 6 
5 Test the control circuit of the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve for a short to ground. Refer to Testing for Short to Ground and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the conditions?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
6 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7 
7 Replace the FTP sensor. Refer to Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 9  -
8 Replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 9  -

  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 10
