Component Inspection

  1. Ignition "OFF".
  2. Disconnect Fuel Tank Unit connector.
  3. Measure resistance between terminal "2" and "6" of the Fuel Temperature Sensor connector (To Component Side).
    1. Specification:

      At 0°C (32°F), Resistance 4~7 kΩ

      At 20°C (68°F), Resistance 2~3 kΩ

      At 40°C (104°F), Resistance 0.9~1.3 kΩ

      At 80°C (176°F), Resistance 0.2~0.4 kΩ

  4. Is the measured resistance of FTS within specifications?

    YES

    • Substitute with a known-good PCM and check for proper operation.

      If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO

    • Substitute with a known-good FTS and check for proper operation.

      If the problem is corrected, replace FTS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
