Check Fuel Temperature Sensor

  1. Ignition "OFF".
  2. Disconnect fuel temperature sensor connector.
  3. Measure resistance between terminal "1" and "4" of fuel temperature sensor connector.
    1. Specification:
    1. At 0 °C (32 °F), Resistance 4 ~ 7 kΩ
    2. At 20 °C (68 °F), Resistance 2 ~ 3 kΩ
    3. At 40 °C (104 °F), Resistance 0.9 ~ 1.3 kΩ
    4. At 80 °C (176 °F), Resistance 0.2 ~ 0.4 kΩ

  4. Is the resistance within specifications?

    YES

    1. Substitute with a known-good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO

    1. Check fuel temp. sensor for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good fuel temp. sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace fuel temp. sensor and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
