Grand Vitara JS 2WD V6-2.5L (1999)
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
1. Remove fuel tank pressure sensor from fuel tank.
2. Check sensor air vent hole and pressure passage for clog. Clean if clogged.
3. Arrange 3 new 1.5 V batteries in series (check that total voltage is 4.5 - 5.0V) and connect its positive terminal to "Vin" terminal of sensor and
negative terminal to "Ground" terminal. Then check voltage between "Vout" and "Ground".
CAUTION: As connection to wrong terminal will cause damage to tank pressure sensor, make absolutely sure to connect properly as shown in
left figure.
Also, check if voltage reduces when vacuum is applied up to 6.6 kPa (50 mm.Hg) by using vacuum pump and if it increases when positive
pressure is applied up to 6.6kPa (50 mm.Hg) by using hand pump.
If measured voltage doesn't show such characteristic as shown in left figure, replace.
