WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0182 - FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW INPUT

Description:  The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the fuel temperature sensor circuit to the powertrain control module (PCM) for low voltage. If voltage falls below a calibrated limit for a calibrated amount of time during testing, the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Short in the harness.
  • VREF open or shorted.
  • Low ambient temperature operation.
  • Improper harness connection.
  • Damaged fuel temperature sensor.
  • Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the FRT PID value to determine an open or short.
