DTC P0183: Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P0183: FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH

Description:  The PCM continuously monitors the fuel rail temperature (FRT) sensor input to determine if the FRT sensor signal is within an expected range. The test fails when FRT voltage is higher than expected.
Possible Causes: 
  • FRT circuit open
  • FRT circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged FRT sensor connection
  • Damaged FRT sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the FRT voltage and temperature PIDs on a scan tool to isolate an open or short circuit from the system concern.
