ECD SYSTEM (w/o DPF), 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 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 and determines if there are errors.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • If DTCs relating to different systems are stored, and they share terminal E2 as their ground, check this ground circuit first.

  • 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


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL TEMPERATURE)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

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

    4. Read the value.

      OK
      Same value as the actual fuel temperature.
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or more B
      OK (Same as actual fuel temperature) C

      Tech Tips


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

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