СИСТЕМА ECD, Diagnostic DTC:P0180, P0182, P0183

DTC Code DTC Name
P0180 Fuel Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit
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 in 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.

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P0180, P0182 and/or P0183 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:


    • Misfire

    • Combustion noise

    • Black smoke

    • Lack of power

  • When DTC P0180, P0182 and/or P0183 is stored, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Fuel Temp.

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

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


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (FUEL TEMPERATURE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Fuel Temp.


      Powertrain > Engine > Data List
      Tester Display
      Fuel Temperature

    4. Read the value.

      OK
      Same as the actual fuel temperature

      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or higher B
      OK (Same as actual fuel temperature) C

      Tech Tips


      • If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -40°C (-40°F).

      • If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 140°C (284°F) or higher.
