Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
I bought a new ranger. A 2011 with 36,000 Kms. Unfortunately, I picked it up as is and found later there are a couple of engine codes. P0450 and P1450.
The shop i took it too said it was the fuel tank pressure sensor. I called the dealer and they gave me a part number but when i went to order the part from village ford in Dearborn, they said this was just a tube assembly with no sensors in it. The part number was AL5Z9D683C. There is no visual picture of it on the ford dealer websites so i can’t see for myself if there is a sensor in this assembly.
Does anyone out there know the part number i need to order from ford? I am located in Belle River ontario Canada and i need to correct the code to meet the Ontario drive clean emissions test.

Why do people always think it's the sensor that's faulty when it's doing it's job, telling you there is a problem in the EVAP system.
Both problems could be a faulty tube assembly
A stored code P0450 means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a malfunction in the pressure sensor circuit of the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system.
A stored code P1450 is set when the PCM detects an excessive vacuum in the fuel tank and/or EVAP (Evaporative Emissions Control) system. “Bleeding” in these definitions refers to the PCM’s inability to maintain a specified vacuum in the EVAP system only when the engine is running at speeds above idling RPM’s

Thanks 2011Supercab. It does make sense that the line is losing pressure. We will see how this turns out with the purchase of the tube assembly. It just seems odd to me that either the sensor or the tube assembly has a leak on a truck with only 36,000 Kms. This truck lived most of its life so far in the garage and is absolutely pristine underneath. It had been Krown rustproofed which i thought maybe the oil got into the electrical connectors and is causing a problem as well. That is if there is indeed a sensor in this tube assembly or in another location.

A 2011 with only 36,000km obviously didnt get driven much, probably no highway miles and I'm gonna guess spent some long periods of time sitting unused. Vehicles that sit for long periods of time always develope issues even kept in a garage. Just saying an issue like this wouldn't be anything abnormal.
