DTC P1454: Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem: General Description

The fuel tank pressure is about 0 kPa (0 in.Hg, 0 mmHg) when starting a cold engine. When the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor output value is out of a specified range and the powertrain control module (PCM) judges that there's no other cause [no evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent shut valve failure, etc.] of the FTP sensor zero point shift, the PCM detects an FTP sensor malfunction.

However, if the FTP sensor output when starting the engine is a prescribed negative value or less (excessive negative pressure is detected), the malfunction judgment should be done as follows because it is difficult to distinguish the FTP sensor zero point shift (P1454) from the EVAP canister vent shut valve failure (P2422).

1. If either Temporary DTC P1454 or P2422 is not stored, the PCM stores both DTCs.
2. If both P1454 and P2422 Temporary DTCs are stored and an excessive negative pressure is detected, both P1454 and P2422 DTCs are stored.
3. If either Temporary DTC P1454 or P2422 is stored and an excessive negative pressure is detected, the PCM stores the DTC of the temporary DTC that was stored.
