Test Procedure

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK 

Start diagnosis

Make sure the engine is at room temperature.

-- Disconnect the Fuel Temperature Sensor -G81- electrical harness connector.

Checking internal resistance

-- Measure the resistance of the 2 terminals of the Fuel Temperature Sensor -G81- connector(s).

Specified value: 1950 to 2200 Ω (+/- 25 Ω at about 20° C).

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Replace the Fuel Temperature Sensor -G81-. Refer to the Repair Information.

-- Go to Final Procedures 

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking the wiring

-- Remove the Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.
