Code P2450 Ford Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the Fuel Vapor Vent Valve for correct operation. During the evaporative emission (EVAP) monitor cruise test after verifying a leak is not present, the PCM commands the Fuel Vapor Vent Valve closed while a vacuum is present in the fuel tank and opens the canister vent. If the fuel vapor vent does not close, the vacuum in the tank is quickly lost. If the rate of loss exceeds a calibrated threshold the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
