Code P0453 Toyota Description
5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system. The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure. The leak detection pump creates negative pressure through the reference orifice. When the system is normal, the EVAP pressure is between 97 to 100 kPa(abs) [726 to 750 mmHg(abs) (Typical value)] and saturated within a minute. If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is higher than 4.9 V: 123.761 kPa(abs) [928.331 mmHg(abs)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
The Canister Pump Module is attached to the EVAP Canister and contains the Canister Pressure Sensor, the Leak Detection Pump, and the Vent Valve.
