Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the status




- Start the engine and run it to normal operating temperature.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the signal from the fuel temperature sensor.
Check that the signal is within its permitted range. The signal is measured in the fuel rail for the injectors.
The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect. The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.










Continue - Checking the component and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the component and wiring

Hint: The fuel temperature sensor is integrated in the fuel pressure sensor.

- Check the fuel pressure sensor connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the fuel pressure sensor between terminals #1 and #2 (sensor side). Check the resistance.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A66 (#B6) and fuel pressure sensor terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the ground lead between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A15 (#A15) and fuel pressure sensor terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
