p0451 Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor

Hello, My check engine light came on. I have a scangauge. The code is
Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor.

Any Ideas here. Is it the charcoal box? I did fill the tank today. I always fill it up, and stop when the pump stops at the first click so I dont top it off.


Suggestions??

Thanx for your help

I have an '07 factory manual. The canister is located under the car in front of the tank. The pressure sensor is on the left (driver's side) rear of the tank. Note this is for an '07. The manual says to first reset the code and see if it reappears. If it doesn't take no action.

I disconnected the battery, Which eliminated the Check enginelight.

Opened the gas tank, ny leaving the cap open over night.

I have driven 100 miles and no ck engine light. Hopefully it was the cap., or Maybe I need to stop filling the tank all the way to the first click.
