MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-575

STEP 15. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern (Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-ll Drive Cycle − Procedure 1 − 

Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor 

P.13A-4

).

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0451 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting from Step 2.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The PCM (terminal 97) supplies a 5-volt refer-

ence signal to the fuel tank differential pressure 
sensor (terminal 3). The fuel tank differential 
pressure sensor (terminal 2) is grounded through 
the PCM (terminal 96).

• The fuel tank differential pressure sensor (termi-

nal 1) returns a voltage signal to the PCM (termi-
nal 82) that is proportional to the pressure in the 
fuel tank.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The PCM monitors the fuel tank differential pres-

sure sensor output voltage.

• The PCM determines whether the fuel tank differ-

ential pressure sensor signal voltage is within 
normal operating parameters.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Compare purge solenoid status with fuel tank dif-

ferential pressure sensor output voltage.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous.

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions 

• Intake air temperature is greater than 5°C (41°F).

• Engine speed is 1,600 r/min or greater.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 70 per-

cent.

Judgment Criteria

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid is 

off, the fuel differential pressure sensor output 
voltage remains 1.0 volt or less for ten seconds.

.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Malfunction of the fuel tank differential pressure 

sensor.

• A damaged harness in the fuel tank differential 

pressure sensor circuit.

• Malfunction of the PCM.

.

OVERVIEW OF TROUBLESHOOTING

•  DTC P0452 can be set by a faulty fuel tank differ-

ential pressure sensor or related circuit, or PCM 
failure.
