A restriction in the EVAP canister or vent lines could prevent fuel vapor pressure from bleeding off fast enough. If the vent system cannot bleed off pressure fast enough, the re-zero procedure may not complete successfully, which could cause this code to set. By using the Purge Solenoid command on a scan tool, vacuum can be applied to the system instead of pressure. With the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve open and the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve commanded to 100 percent, the vacuum should not increase to more than 9 inches H2O.
Ensure that the reference port on the FTP sensor is unobstructed.
