Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure sensor signal in order to detect vacuum decay and excess vacuum during the evaporative
emission (EVAP) diagnostic test. The control module supplies a 5-volt reference and a low reference circuit to the fuel tank pressure sensor. This
DTC sets if the engine control module (ECM) detects one of the following conditions:
* The fuel tank pressure sensor signal voltage is not within a calibrated range on a cold start-up.
* The fuel tank pressure sensor signal oscillates greater than a calibrated amount when vehicle speed is within a predetermined range.
The following table illustrates the relationship between fuel tank pressure sensor signal voltage and the EVAP system pressure/vacuum.
