INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Connect the i-HDS to the vehicle and confirm DTC P0455 is present.
• If DTC P0455 is present, go to step 2.
• If DTC P0455 is not present, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal troubleshooting.
2. Check the vacuum at the EVAP canister purge valve using the vacuum pump. Apply about 2 kPa (0.6 inHg, 15 mmHg)
of vacuum to the hose using the vacuum tool.
• If the vacuum holds for 1 minute, continue to step 3.
NOTE: Leave the vacuum hose purge line disconnected.
• If it does not hold for 1 minute, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
Page 3 of 8
3. Check for a poor connection or damage on the EVAP canister purge line between the canister purge valve and the
canister. Also check the EVAP canister, the FTP sensor, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and O-rings for damage.
NOTE: Vehicles with SH-AWD: Disconnect the rear stabilizer bar and slide it towards the rear of the vehicle to gain
access to the hose. Keep the stabilizer bar disconnected until all checks are completed.
• If conditions are ok and there is no damage, continue to step 4.
• If there is damage to the components or conditions are not ok, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal
system troubleshooting.
4. Disconnect and check the EVAP canister vent hose for a blockage or restriction.
• If there isn’t a blockage or restriction, the system is normal. Continue to step 5.
NOTE: Leave the canister vent hose disconnected.
• If there is a blockage or restriction, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
5. Disconnect the fuel vent tube and plug the fuel vent tube and canister vent hose ports with plugs. Then, connect a
vacuum pump to the vacuum hose purge line at the EVAP canister purge valve, located in the engine bay.
6. Turn the vehicle to the ON position. While watching the FTP sensor voltage in the PGM-FI data list, apply vacuum to the
hose until it reads 1.90 V. Monitor the FTP sensor voltage for 1 minute.
NOTE: Be careful not to exceed the 1.90 V. If you do, the FTP sensor may be damaged.
•
If the FTP sensor voltage increases more than 0.2 V, the system is normal. Continue to step 7.
•
If it does not, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.

7. Reconnect the EVAP canister vent hose and keep the fuel vent tube port plugged.
8. Using the i-HDS, go to the following: PGM-FI > Function Test > EVAP TEST > Single Solenoid.
9. Select CVS ON and apply vacuum to the hose until it reads 1.90 V.
NOTE: Be careful not to exceed 1.90 V. If you do, the FTP sensor may be damaged.
10. Go to the PGM-FI data list and monitor the FTP sensor voltage.
• If the FTP sensor voltage increases more than 0.2 V, the system is normal. Go to step 11.
• If it does not, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
NOTE: Vehicles with SH-AWD: Reinstall the sway bar and use the new hardware provided.
11. Check for a poor connection or damage on the fuel fill pipe and the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube.
• If the connections are ok and there are no damages, the system is normal. Reconnect the fuel vent tube and the
vacuum hose purge line. Go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
• If there are any damages or loose connections, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system
troubleshooting.
