Signal Circuit Inspection

Check Power to Fuel Temperature Sensor 

  1. IG KEY: OFF, Engine: OFF
  2. Disconnect fuel temperature sensor connector B-18.
  3. IG KEY: ON, Engine: OFF
  4. Measure voltage between terminal 1 of fuel temperature sensor harness connector B-18 and chassis ground.
    1. Specification: Approx. 5V
