| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0182 | Fuel Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input |
| P0183 | Fuel Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
| *1 | Resistance Ω |
| *2 | Acceptable |
| *3 | Temperature °C (°F) |
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 in voltage (See Fig. 1).
The fuel temperature sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THF terminal of the ECM, register 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 supply pump assembly and determines if there are malfunctions.
Tech Tips
When the fuel temperature sensor output is outside the normal range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction.

Tech Tips
When DTC P0182 or P0183 is stored, check the fuel temperature by entering the following menus on the GTS: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Temperature.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit |
| 150°C (302°F) or higher | Short circuit |

Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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
