Evaporative emission control system pressure sensor circuit malfunction code (1.8L only) may be set by
- Fuel tank pressure sensor malfunction.
- Open or short circuit between tank pressure sensor terminal No. 2 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 1.
- Open or short circuit between tank pressure sensor terminal No. 1 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 5.
- Open circuit between tank pressure sensor terminal No. 3 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 8.
- Check PCM and tank pressure sensor connectors. Repair as needed. Go to next step.
- Check PCM pin voltage at connector C254 terminal No. 1. See «PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS»(ref-25101) article. If voltage is in specifications, go to step 6). If voltage is out of specifications, go to next step.
- Disconnect tank pressure sensor. Turn ignition on. Check voltage at tank pressure sensor connector terminal No. 1. If 5 volts exist, go to next step. If 5 volts does not exist, repair open or short circuit between tank pressure sensor terminal No. 1 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 5.
- Check continuity between tank pressure sensor terminal No. 2 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 1. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair wiring.
- Check continuity between tank pressure sensor terminals No. 1 and PCM connector C254 terminal No. 8. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair or replace wiring. If wiring is okay, replace sensor.
- Clear code. Recheck codes. If code returns, replace PCM. If code does not return, problem is intermittent.
