DTC 39 (5) Fuel Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
The fuel temperature sensor senses the fuel temperature. A thermistor built into the sensor changes its resistance according to the fuel temperature. The lower the fuel temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance value, and the higher the fuel temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value (see Fig. 1).The fuel temperature sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage from the ECM is applied to the fuel temperature sensor from terminal THF via resistor R. That is, resistor R and the fuel temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the fuel temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the fuel temperature, the voltage at terminal THF also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability when the engine speed is low and the fuel temperature is high.
DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- If DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are stored simultaneously, there may be an open circuit between terminal E2 and body ground.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
When using intelligent tester:
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL TEMPERATURE) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Temp.
