1.

P145011: Fuel tank pressure sensor voltage low

If the fuel tank pressure sensor output voltage (pressure) is less than 0.25 V: -17.18 kPa(gauge) -2.49 psi(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the fuel tank pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC (1 trip detection logic).

2.

P145015: Fuel tank pressure sensor voltage high

If the fuel tank pressure sensor output voltage (pressure) is higher than 4.95 V: 23.93 kPa(gauge) [3.47 psi(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC (1 trip detection logic).

3.

P14502A: Fuel tank pressure sensor being constant (Stuck monitor)

If the fuel tank pressure sensor output voltage does not change, the ECM interprets this as the sensor voltage being constant, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC (2 trip detection logic).

4.

P14502F: Fuel tank pressure sensor abnormal voltage fluctuation (Noise monitor)

If the fuel tank pressure sensor output voltage fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as the fuel tank pressure sensor voltage fluctuating, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

Required Sensors/Components Fuel tank pressure sensor
Frequency of Operation Once per driving cycle: P1451 (stuck monitor)
Continuous: P1451 (noise monitor), P1452 and P1453

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

NOTICE:
·

The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 9 steps performed automatically by the GTS. It takes a maximum of approximately 40 minutes.

·

Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.

·

Do not start the engine during this operation.

·

When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor will from and any check result will be inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature less than 35°C (95°F).



HINT:
·

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>M20F-FXS, M20G-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL)>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR

·


1.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3.

Turn the GTS on.

4.

Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

5.

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

6.

Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].

7.

Turn the GTS on.

8.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode [B].

9.

After the "Evaporative System Check" is completed, check for All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

10.

Input the DTC: P145011, P145015, P14502A or P14502F.

11.

Check the DTC judgment result.

HINT:
·

If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.

·

If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.

·

[A] to [B]: Normal judgment procedure.

The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

·

When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.




CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:
·

When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle condition. For example, do not tighten the fuel tank cap assembly.

·

The GTS is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

·

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL>HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM>VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB)

(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>M20F-FXS, M20G-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL)>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR

·

If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
