DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC No.	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detecting condition
P0181	FTT SENSOR (Fuel temperature sensor ″A″ circuit range/ performance)	A	Rationally incorrect voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM, compared with the voltage signals from ECT sensor and intake air temperature sensor.
		B	The comparison result of signals transmitted to ECM from each temperature sensor (IAT sensor, ECT sensor, EOT sensor, and FTT sensor) shows that the voltage signal of the FTT sensor is higher/lower than that of other temperature sensors when the engine is started with its cold state.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0181 - A

Harness or connectors (FTT sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
FTT sensor
Combination meter

DTC P0181 - B

Harness or connectors (High or low resistance in the FTT sensor circuit)
FTT sensor

FAIL-SAFE

>> GO TO 8.

8.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE B

Move the vehicle to a cool place.
NOTE: Cool the vehicle in an environment of ambient air temperature between −10°C (14°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle for 12 hours.
CAUTION: Never turn ignition switch ON during this procedure.
NOTE: The vehicle must be cooled with the food open.
Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes or more.
CAUTION:Never turn ignition switch off during idling.
Check 1st trip dtc.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-272, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

9.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Refer to GI-41, "Intermittent Incident".

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

1.INSPECTION START

Confirm the detected malfunction (A or B). Refer to EC-270, "DTC Description".

Which malfunction is detected? A >>GO TO 2.

B >>GO TO 6.

2.CHECK DTC WITH COMBINATION METER

Check DTC with combination meter. Refer to MWI-21, "CONSULT Function (METER/M&A)".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> Proceed to MWI-62, "Component Function Check".

3.CHECK FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE (FTT) SENSOR POWER

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Check the voltage between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector and ground.

Check fuel tank temperature (FTT) sensor power

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.CHECK FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE (FTT) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM harness connector.
Check the continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector and ECM harness connector.

Check fuel tank temperature (FTT) sensor power supply circuit

Also check harness for short to ground and to power.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

5.CHECK FTT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
