P0183

DTC P0182, P0183 FTT SENSOR







Component Description
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.




On Board Diagnosis Logic

DTC Confirmation Procedure

WITH CONSULT-III
1. If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next step.
a. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
b. Turn ignition switch ON.
c. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Wait at least 5 seconds.
4. Check 1st trip DTC.
5. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.

Component Inspection

FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove fuel level sensor unit.




2. Check resistance between "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" terminals 4 and 5 by heating with hot water or heat gun as shown in the figure.
