.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

• None

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Refer to Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − 

Pattern 13 

P.13A-9

.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are:)

• Fuel tank temperature sensor failed.

• Open or shorted fuel tank temperature sensor cir-

cuit, harness damage, or connector damage.

• ECM failed. 

NOTE: A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) could be 
output if the engine and the radiator have been 
flushed repeatedly when the engine coolant temper-
ature was high (or the fuel tank temperature was 
high). Because this is not a failure, the DTC must be 
erased.
Make sure to test drive the vehicle in accordance 
with the OBD-II drive cycle pattern in order to verify 
that a DTC will not be output.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.
• MB991827: USB Cable
• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MB992110: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 53: 
Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

53, Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

• Approximately the same as the ambient air temperature 

when the engine is cooled.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points − How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector D-22 at the fuel tank 
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the fuel tank temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the fuel tank temperature sensor connector 

D-22.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 3 

of the fuel tank temperature sensor.

Standard value:

0.5 − 12.0 kΩ

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.5 and 12.0 kΩ?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the fuel tank temperature sensor. Then go to 

Step 11.

STEP 4. Check the continuity at fuel tank temperature 
sensor harness side connector D-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-22 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 1 and 

ground.

• Continuity (2 ohms or less)

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair harness wire between fuel tank temperature 

sensor connector D-22 (terminal No. 1) and ground 
because of open circuit or harness damage. Then go 
to Step 11.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at fuel tank 
temperature sensor harness side connector D-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-22 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 3 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7. 
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 7. Measure the sensor supply voltage at ECM 
connector B-10 by using power plant ECU check harness 
special tool MB992110.
(1) Disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the power plant 

ECU check harness special tool MB992110 between the 
separated connectors.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 115 and ground.

• When fuel tank temperature is 0° C (32° F), voltage 

should be between 2.7 and 3.1 volts.

• When fuel tank temperature is 20° C (68° F), voltage 

should be between 2.1 and 2.5 volts.

• When fuel tank temperature is 40° C (104° F), voltage 

should be between 1.6 and 2.0 volts.

• When fuel tank temperature is 80° C (176° F), voltage 

should be between 0.8 and 1.2 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage normal?

YES : Check harness connector C-47 at intermediate 

connector for damage, and repair or replace as 
required. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 
Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connector is in 

good condition, repair harness wire between fuel tank 
temperature sensor connector D-22 (terminal No. 3) 
and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 115) because 
of open circuit. Then go to Step 11.

NO :  Go to Step 8.
