DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Procedure
- RETIGHTEN GROUND SCREWS
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Loosen and retighten engine ground screws. See Figure .
- : GO TO 2.
- CHECK CONNECTOR
- Disconnect EVAP control system pressure sensor harness connector.
- Check sensor harness connector for water.
Water should not exist.
OK or NG
- OK: GO TO 3.
- NG: Repair or replace harness connector.
- CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check voltage between EVAP control system pressure sensor terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

- NG: GO TO 4.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
- Harness connectors B2, M2
- Harness connectors M81, F49
- Harness for open or short between EVAP control system pressure sensor and ECM
- : Repair harness or connectors.
- CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Check harness continuity between EVAP control system pressure sensor terminal 3 and engine ground.
Refer to Wiring Diagram.
Continuity should exist.
- Also check harness for short to power.
OK or NG
- OK: GO TO 7 .
- NG: GO TO 6.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

- Harness connectors B2, M2
- Harness connectors M81, F49
- Joint connector-20
- Harness for open between EVAP control system pressure sensor and ECM
- Harness for open between EVAP control system pressure sensor and TCM (Transmission Control Module)
- : Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Disconnect ECM harness connector.
- Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 60 and EVAP control system pressure sensor terminal 2.
Refer to Wiring Diagram.
Continuity should exist.
- Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG

- NG: GO TO 8.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors B2, M2
- Harness connectors M81, F49
- Harness for open or short between ECM and EVAP control system pressure sensor
- : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR
- Remove EVAP control system pressure sensor with its harness connector connectedCAUTION: Never apply force to the air hole protector of the sensor if equipped. See Figure .
- Remove EVAP control system pressure sensor with its harness connector connected
