Small Leak Test

2001 Chevrolet Astro Van L AWD V6-4.3L VIN WSECTION Small Leak Test
If the large leak test passes, the control module will test for small leaks by continuing to monitor the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor for a change in voltage over a period of time. If the decay rate is more than a calibrated value, the control module will rerun the test. If the test fails again, a DTC P0442 will set.
