P0451 Lexus RX II

The ECM monitors the vapor pressure sensor in two ways. One method examines the fluctuation of the electrical signal while the engine is idling. If the pressure signal varies beyond the specified range more than 7 times, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the vapor pressure sensor. The ECM also verifies that the pressure signal changes within the specified range. If the output of the sensor does not vary for 5 minutes while the intake air amount has been changing, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the vapor pressure sensor. Either fault will set DTC P0451 and the ECM will turn on the MIL.
