DTC P1447 FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT HIGH DIAGNOSIS

Step Check Yes No
1. CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
  2. Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 24 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 3.  Go to step 2. 
2. CHECK POOR CONTACT. 

Check poor contact in ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM connector? Repair poor contact in ECM connector. Replace the ECM. < Ref. to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . >
3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from fuel tank sensor control valve.
  3. Turn ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 24 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Repair short circuit to battery in harness between ECM and fuel tank sensor control valve connector. After repair, replace the ECM. < Ref. to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . > Go to step 4. 
4. CHECK FUEL TANK SENSOR CONTROL VALVE. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Measure the resistance between fuel tank sensor control valve terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2: 


 
 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?
Replace the fuel tank sensor control valve < Ref. to DRAIN VALVE .> and the ECM< Ref. to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) >. Go to step 5. 
5. CHECK POOR CONTACT. 
Check poor contact in ECM connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM connector? Repair poor contact in ECM connector. Replace the ECM. < Ref. to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . >
