Hi,

P0452 indicates a low voltage signal from the fuel tank pressure sensor, which converts fuel tank pressure into a voltage signal sent to the ECM.

Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Low Input indicates a low voltage problem in the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (FTPS). What the fuel FTP sensor does is convert fuel tank absolute pressure into electrical signals and inputs the signal to the ECM/PCM, (Computer). First thing to do is make sure the gas cap is good and tightened properly. Given the gas cap's age, you may just want to replace it as the seal may be dry and leaking which would give you a low pressure signal. Then check the vacuum lines and wiring at the FTPS (Location-Fuel Tank) to be sure they are good, clean and tight. Barring a wiring problem it can be a bad FTPS.

Regarding the noise from clutch, it seems to be a bearing issue or the clutch plate/pad might have worn.

Hope i helped.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Code p0452 pressure sensor low input what's the fix?

The Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) control system pressure sensor detects pressure in the purge line. The sensor output voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM) increases as pressure increases. The EVAP control system pressure sensor is not used to control the engine system. It is used only for on board diagnosis. If the sensor has the correct input voltage the sensor could be defective.

P0452 - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Low Input

Possible causes- Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Pressure sensor harness is open or shorted
- Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Pressure sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Pressure sensor When is the code detected?An excessively low voltage from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM).

DTC P0446 - Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit
Evap vent valve has only one purpose. It closes in order to seal the vent so the EVAP system can pressurize and ensure there are no leaks. Evap vent valve is usually supplied Batt. voltage with key on. The ECM's driver controls the ground, and when grounded, activates the valve (closing it). If the ECM detects a short to ground, and open,or a short to battery voltage on the control circuit, P0446 will set. Code also may refer to ECM detecting that EVAP system is unable to achieve or maintain vacuum during test. A code P0446 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
  • Faulty vent valve
  • Open, short or excessive resistance on Vent valve control circuit
  • Blockage of vent valve
  • Bad PCM
Possible Solutions
  • Replace Vent valve
  • Repair open, short, or resistance problem in control circuit
  • Repair open, or short, or resistance problem in power circuit
  • Replace PCM

DTC P0452 - Evaporative emission control system, pressure sensor low imput
DTC P0453 - Evaporative emission control system, pressure sensor high imput

The PCM monitors the EVAP control system FTP sensor input signal to the PCM. The test fails when the signal average jumps above a minimum allowable calibrated parameter. If both codes are present, it sounds like your fuel tank pressure sensor has failed.

The sensor is on top of the tank and you will have to remove the tank. But your symptoms are pointing to more than just the sensor. You may have wiring problems.

Abs light on with a p0452 code

ABS -- is one problem
Possible Wheel Speed Sensor ,but
you can't guess Use codes & other
resouces to diagnose

EVAP System Code PO452 -- may be a
Pressure Sensor issue ,all I have is Low Input
I assume that means high resistance in the solenoid coil,
thus low voltage detected
Again- need scanner & evap smoke machine ,to check out,
unless your guy shot guns common items & gets lucky at

My 99 alero has emission code P0452 how. Can I fix it

P0452 - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Low Input.
An excessively low voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.

The EVAP control system pressure sensor detects pressure in the purge line. The sensor output voltage to the ECM increases as pressure increases. The EVAP control system pressure sensor is not used to control the engine system. It is used only for on board diagnosis.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
- The EVAP control system pressure sensor circuit is open or shorted
- EVAP control system pressure sensor may be faulty

Possible solution
- Retight gas cap - Replaced EVAP Control System Pressure Sensor

Hope this helps.

Hi,

This fault code is related to a low pressure signal from your EVAP system which is to do with your purge canisiter system for the fuel vapours etc.

You could have a faulty sensor in this system.
