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.
