| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0182 | Fuel Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input |
| P0183 | Fuel Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
The fuel temperature sensor monitors the fuel temperature. The fuel temperature sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the fuel temperature. When the fuel temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor is high. When the temperature is high, the resistance is low.
The variations of resistance are communicated to the ECM as changes of voltage (See Fig. 1).
The fuel temperature sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the fuel temperature sensor from terminal THF via resistor R.
Resistor R and the fuel temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the fuel temperature sensor changes due to a change of fuel temperature, the voltage at terminal THF also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM corrects the pressure control compensation of the fuel supply pump assembly and determines if there are errors.
Tech Tips
When the fuel temperature sensor output is outside the normal range, the ECM determines that this is a malfunction.
| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition switch ON for approximately 15 seconds | Open or short in fuel temperature sensor circuit for 2 seconds (2 trip detection logic) |
|
| DTC No. | Data List |
|---|---|
| P0182 | Fuel Temperature |
| P0183 |
Tech Tips
When DTC P0182 or P0183 is stored, check the fuel temperature by entering the following menus on the intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Temperature.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit |
| 149°C (300°F) | Short circuit |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the intelligent tester. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the tester display.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL TEMPERATURE)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Temperature.
Read the value.
| OK |
|---|
| Same as actual fuel temperature. |
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | A |
| 149°C (300°F) or higher | B |
| Same as actual fuel temperature | C |
Tech Tips
If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 149°C (300°F) or higher.
