P0452

Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Low Input

DTC P0452, sometimes indicated as P045200 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the auxiliary emissions system causing evaporative emission control system pressure sensor low input.

The evaporative emission control system pressure sensor low input is caused by a problem with the pressure sensor or the wiring to the sensor. The sensor may be dirty or damaged, or the wiring may be broken or corroded.
The solution is to clean or replace the pressure sensor, and repair or replace the wiring if necessary.

2010 CHEVROLET COBALT with 107225. miles

While driving on nys i-90, my 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt ls 2010 went into "engine power reduced" and i was not able to drive over 40 mph. I pulled off to the shoulder and waited for about 10 minutes. I started back up, check engine light remained on and car stays in limp mode. The vehicle now idles rough, accelerates slow when at red lights and stop signs and bucks when shifting gears. First at 10 mph (hard buck) than (lighter buck) at 20 mph, and continues lighter through acceleration. Codes that are coming up are P0107 engine (map) barometric pressure circuit - low input, P0452 engine (evaporative emission system pressure system pressure sensor - switch low input, P0532 engine ac pressure sensor a - circuit low, and P0641 engine (sensor reference voltage a) circuit/open. I was able to clear out all codes except for P0641 (permanent). Please help.

2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE with 41000.0 miles

Electronic door locks have failed on three of the 4 doors on this truck. Check engine light on due to code P0452, which is fuel tank pressure sensor defective. I called the dealership and they said it was not covered under the warranty and it would cost around $500 to repair. Spoke with my brother-in-law today who has a 2002 Avalanche and he had the same problem with fuel sensor and his repair was covered under the warranty. The door handle of my vehicle is plated in chrome. This chrome is now coming undone, and is razor sharp.

2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

Upon cold startup vehicle will stall, hesitate or surge upon the first press of the accelerator pedal. Computer has been replaced and reprogrammed on prior attempts along with new throttle bodies and stalling no longer present, but hesitation and surging are still present. Service engine soon lamp has started illuminating. Code is P0452 for the fuel tank pressure sensor. According to a gm administrative message to dealers on 4/2/04, "dealers are advised to order fuel tank pressure sensor p/n 16238399 instead of p/n 09377680. Fuel tank pressure sensor p/n 09377680 has proved to be unreliable and it is likely to fail again shortly after installation. Production change to use p/n 16238399 is scheduled for mid-april." dealer will be replacing sensor on subsequent visit.
