DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• The engine coolant temperature − intake air tem-

perature is 5

°C (9°F) or less when the engine is 

started.

• The engine coolant temperature is between 

−10°C (14°F) and 36°C (97°F) when the engine is 

started.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 60°C 

(140

°F).

• Maximum vehicle speed is higher than 30km/h 

(17mph) after the starting sequence has been 
completed.

Judgement Criteria

• The fuel tank temperature − engine coolant tem-

perature is 15

°C (27°F) or less when the engine 

is started.

.

.

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, or harness damage or connector damage.

• PCM failed.

NOTE: A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) could be 
output if the engine coolant is changed as indicated 
below. Because this is not a failure, the DTC must be 
erased.
Make sure to test drive the vehicle in accordance 
with the drive cycle pattern in order to verify that a 
DTC will not be output.

.

•

The engine and the radiator have been flushed 
repeatedly when the engine coolant temperature 
was high (or the fuel tank temperature was high).

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 
4A: 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 

4A, Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

• With the engine cool, the fuel tank temperature should 

be approximately the same as ambient air temperature.

(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 

P.00-7

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the sensor output voltage at fuel tank 
temperature sensor connector E-30 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the connector E-30.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground by 

backprobing.

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

should measure 2.7 and 3.1 volts.

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

should measure 2.1 and 2.5 volts.

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

should measure 1.6 and 2.0 volts.

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

should measure 0.8 and 1.2 volts.

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

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check connector E-30 at the fuel tank temperature 
sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.

NO :  Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 5. Check connector E-30 at fuel tank temperature 
sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness
