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

Description:  The PCM monitors the difference between the fuel pressure and temperature sensor and the charge air cooler temperature (CACT) sensor on engine start after a 6 hour soak. This DTC sets when the difference between the two temperatures exceeds a calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • FRT circuit open
  • FRT circuit short to ground
  • FRT circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged fuel pressure and temperature sensor connection
  • Low ambient temperature operation
  • Damaged fuel pressure and temperature 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. Diagnose any FRT circuit related DTCs first.
