DTC P2451-00: Fuel tank solenoid valve stuck closed
 
 
 
 
CIRCUIT OPERATION
  • The 12V battery voltage is applied to the fuel tank solenoid valve connector terminal number 1 from the ECM connector terminal number 92.
  • The fuel tank solenoid valve connector terminal number 2 is grounded to body ground.
  • The bypass valve is built into the evaporative emission canister (main).
  • MFI relay is built into the IPDM E/R.
  • The power of the bypass valve is supplied from the MFI relay.
  • The power supply to the bypass valve is controlled by the ON/OFF control of the power transistor in the ECM.
  • Seal the fuel tank and keep the fuel tank internal pressure. In response to a signal from the ECM, open the fuel tank solenoid valve and release the sealed state of the fuel tank.
  • In response to a signal from the ECM, the bypass valve shuts off or opens the path between the purge line and the evaporative emission canister.
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
During the key-off evaporative leakage monitoring, when fuel tank pressure cannot be reduced by actuating the evaporative emission leak detection pump during the fuel tank solenoid valve opening instruction, it is judged as fuel tank solenoid valve stuck close.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
Once per driving cycle.

Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
  • Power supply mode of electric motor switch is OFF.
  • 12V battery positive voltage is 11.0 volts or higher.
  • Engine coolant temperature is higher than 4°C (39°F) and lower than 35°C (95°F).

  • Accumulated time that power supply mode of electric motor switch is ON is more than 27 minutes.
Judgment Criteria
  • The fuel tank absolute pressure subtracted from the fuel tank absolute pressure measured by the fuel tank pressure sensor is lower than specified pressure for 180 seconds.
  • The fuel tank pressure subtracted from the fuel tank pressure measured by the fuel tank differential pressure sensor is lower than specified pressure for 180 seconds.
  • The canister pressure subtracted from the barometric pressure is specified pressure or lower for 180 seconds while the valve of the evaporative emission purge solenoid is open.
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Fuel filler lid cannot be opened even when pressing the fuel filler lid opener switch.
  • Indicates "REFUELING SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" on the information screen in the multi-information display.

  • ECM failed.
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992744: Vehicle communication interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite main harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable long
1.STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE), read the DTC.
Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to check and see if a DTC P1445-14, DTC P1446-12, DTC P2419-00 or DTC P2420-00 is set.
Q: Is DTC P1445-14, DTC P1446-12, DTC P2419-00 or DTC P2420-00 is set. set?
Troubleshoot the bypass valve circuit or fuel tank solenoid valve circuit (Refer to DTC P1445-14: EVAP System Bypass Solenoid Valve Circuit Low DTC P1445-14: EVAP System Bypass Solenoid Valve Circuit Low, refer to DTC P1446-12: EVAP System Bypass Solenoid Valve Circuit High DTC P1446-12: EVAP System Bypass Solenoid Valve Circuit High, refer to DTC P2419-00: EVAP System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low DTC P2419-00: EVAP System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low, or refer to DTC P2420-00: EVAP System Switching Valve Control Circuit High DTC P2420-00: EVAP System Switching Valve Control Circuit High).
 
2.STEP 2. Check the fuel tank solenoid valve for clogs.
Check for clogging from the fuel tank solenoid valve (Refer to ENGINE, Engine, Motor and Emission Control – Emission Control – Evaporative Emission System FUEL TANK SOLENOID VALVE CHECK).
Q: Is there ventilation of the fuel tank solenoid valve?
Replace the fuel tank solenoid valve (Refer to ENGINE, Fuel Supply – Fuel Tank FUEL TANK DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY).
 
3.STEP 3. Check harness between fuel tank solenoid valve connector terminal number 1 and ECM connector terminal number 92.
Check power supply line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire.
 
4.STEP 4. Check harness between fuel tank solenoid valve connector terminal number 2 and ground.
Check ground line for open circuit or damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire.
 
5.STEP 5. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to check the data list, after replace evaporative emission canister (main) and perform the evaporative emission system monitor test.
(1) Replace the evaporative emission canister (main) (integrated with bypass valve) (Refer to ENGINE, Engine, Motor and Emission Control – Emission Control – Evaporative Emission System FUEL TANK SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT).
(2) Perform the evaporative emission system monitor test (Refer to EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MONITOR TEST).
