1.
EVAP system check:

EVAP system check
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?2.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?3.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?4.
Insert the emergency fuel funnel into the fuel filler neck.
NOTE: The emergency fuel funnel is stored in the trunk tool box.

?5.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?1.
Remove the emergency fuel funnel from the fuel filler neck.

?2.
Start the engine.

?3.
Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

?4.
Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0453 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
DTC Description
OBD STATUS
P0453 FTP Sensor Circuit High Voltage
  

Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.
     
NO
     
     
     
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.?

YES
     
     
     
Go to step 5.
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 6.
5.
Open wire check (PTANK line):

Open wire check (PTANK line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector No. 2 (58P)

?4.
Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A
FTP sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
Terminal B
Body ground


?5.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
FTP sensor 3P connector: disconnected
FTP sensor 3P connector No. 2: jumped to body ground
PCM connector No. 2 (58P): disconnected
Test point 1
PCM connector No. 2 (58P) No. 39
Test point 2
Body ground

Is there 1.0 ? or less?

     
YES
     
     
     
The PTANK wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P0453 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the PTANK wire between PCM connector No. 2 terminal No. 39 and the FTP sensor.?
