MONITOR DESCRIPTION
(a) DTC P0450: Pressure sensor voltage abnormal fluctua-
tion.
If the pressure sensor voltage output rapidly fluctuates
between less than 0.45 V and more than 4.9 V, the ECM
interprets this as an open or short circuit malfunction in
the pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP
(Evaporative Emission) system monitor. The ECM then il-
luminates the MIL and sets the DTC (1 trip detection log-
ic).
(b) DTC P0451: Pressure sensor noising or stuck
If the pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for
10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor.
The ECM interprets this as noise from the pressure sen-
sor, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then
illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
Alternatively, if the sensor voltage output does not
change for 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as the
sensor being stuck, and stops the monitor. The ECM then
illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
(Both the malfunctions are detected by 2 trip detection
logic)
(c) DTC P0452: Pressure sensor voltage low
If the pressure sensor voltage output is below 0.45 V, the
ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit malfunction
in the pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP
system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and
sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).
(d) DTC P0453: Pressure sensor voltage high
If the pressure sensor voltage output is 4.9 V or more, the
ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit malfunction
in the pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP
system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and
sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).

NOTICE:
When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle condi-
tion. For example, do not tighten the fuel tank cap.
Do not disassemble the pump module.
A hand±held tester is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
1 Confirm DTC and EVAP pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect a hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine).
(c) Turn the tester ON.
CHECK:
(a) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(b) Read DTCs.
(c) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / VAPOR
PRESS.
(d) Read the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) pressure displayed on the tester.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned OFF, the electric vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacu-
um) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions
based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35C (95F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off,
the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35C (95F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is
turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
SequenceOperationsDescriptionsDuration
±ECM activationActivated by soak timer, 5 hours (7 or 9.5 hours) after ignition switch turned to OFF.±
AAtmospheric pressure
measurement
Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to
register atmospheric pressure.
If EVAP pressure is not between 70 kPa and 110 kPa (525 mmHg and 825 mmHg), ECM
cancels EVAP system monitor.
10 seconds
B
First 0.02 inch leak
pressure measure-
mentIn order to determine 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, vacuum pump creates negative pres-
sure (vacuum) through 0.02 inch orifice and them ECM checks if vacuum pump and vent
valve operate normally.
60 seconds
CEVAP system pres-
sure measurement
Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system.
Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then
measured.
Write down the measured value as it will be used in the leak check.
If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.
15 minutes*
DPurge VSV monitorPurge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM.

E
Second 0.02 inch leak
pressure measure-
mentLeak check is performed after second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard is measured.
If stabilized system pressure higher than second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, ECM
determines that EVAP system leaking.

FFinal checkAtmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM.±
* If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.
