Question

I have the engine code p0453 on my 2001 Ford Taurus, what is the code meaning?

Answer 1

Hi there,

P0453 Evap pressure sensor circuit high.

Basically this means the system is seeing to much pressure in the system. Typically causes for this is either the sensor itself, the purge control valve or the canister vent valve. Normally you might have trouble filling the car with gas with this code.

Answer 2

P0453 FORD - EVAP Pressure Sensor/Switch High
