CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The Fuel Temperature Sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value based on
temperature). Low temperature produces a high resistance, while high temperature causes
a low resistance.
The ECM supplies a 5 volt signal to the sensor through a resistor in the ECM and measures
the voltage. The ECM voltage will be high when the fuel temperature is cold, and low when
the fuel temperature is hot.
A failure in the Fuel Temperature Sensor circuit should set a Scan Code P0180.
