P0182: Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit Low Input (Eft)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

P0182 - ENGINE FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW INPUT (EFT)

Description:	The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the EFT sensor circuit to the 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 EFT sensor. Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:	Verify EFT -PID and VREF values to determine an open or short.
