Ford P0183 OBD-II Trouble Code Definition:
P0183 Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High Input
P0183 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0183
Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0183 definition:
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases..
