In a 2013 Ford Escape, the fuel pressure sensor is located inside the fuel tank on the fuel sending unit. Its main function is to monitor the pressure within the fuel tank and trigger the vent valve to open if the pressure becomes too high. If the check engine light illuminates on your dashboard, it is recommended to utilize an OBD II scan tool to check if the issue is related to this sensor. These sensors have a history of malfunctioning, causing the vent to remain open. This can result in an evaporative leak that is sometimes mistaken for a faulty gas cap. Replacing the sensor is a relatively simple task and is typically priced at under $100 at most auto repair shops.
