    Hey guys, on my way home today I had the check engine light come on, so I checked the codes, it came up with P0451. I looked up the code and it came up with this:

    P0451 Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

    Where is this sensor and how critical is it? I wont be able to take it to the dealer for another week or 2, just trying to see how bad it is. I dont think its to bad but would like to make sure before I keep driving it around.

    I just got my truck back from the dealer last friday after they replaced a bad charcoal canister and turned the light off. This seems pretty sudden..

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    It's under the bed next to the gas tank.

    Just for shits and giggles, make sure your gas cap is tight.

    Thanks for the info, so it should be ok to drive it for a week or 2 untill I get it to the dealer, correct?

    btw gas cap is good, checked it as soon as I got out my truck, haha.

    Yes, it isn't going to affect the driving characteristics of the truck.
