Theory Of Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is attached to the fuel filter. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 5-Volt reference signal to the water in fuel sensor. When the water collected in the fuel filter covers the sensor probes, the Water-In-Fuel sensor then pulls the 5-Volt reference voltage low indicating high water accumulation in the fuel filter.
