DTC P0181: Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0181 - FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

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