How do I fix code po183?

What repairs can fix the P0183 code?

  1. Replacing the fuel temperature sensor if it tests out of specifications.
  2. Repairing or replacing a defective connector or wiring to the sensor.
  3. Replacing a defective ECM.
  4. Replacing the diesel fuel heater assembly with the temperature sensor.

Where is the fuel temperature sensor located?

The right engine fuel temperature sensor is located in the right engine fuel cooled oil cooler. Plug FTMP is connected to the sensor. Open the right engine lower cowling to access the sensor. The sensor is a temperature controlled variable resistor.

What causes P0183 code?

The P0183 fault code can be defined as fuel temperature sensor A circuit high input. It is a generic code which would indicate that the fuel temperature sensor A circuit voltage has gone above calibrated limit specifications during the self test.

What does fuel temperature sensor A circuit high mean?

The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0183 indicates “Fuel Temperature Sensor “A” Circuit High.” The fuel temperature sensor measures the fuel’s temperature and transmits the appropriate signal to the PCM. Higher signals correlate to colder temperatures and higher fuel densities.

What is the fuel temperature sensor a circuit?

The fuel tank temperature sensor (FTS) is used to determine fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. This information is used by the vehicle’s onboard computer, the engine control module (ECM), to help determine fuel injector control. On most vehicles, the ECM sends the FTS a reference voltage.

How much does it cost to replace a fuel temperature sensor?

Fuel Temperature Sensor Replacement Cost – RepairPal Estimate. The average cost for fuel temperature sensor replacement is between $231 and $273. Labor costs are estimated between $159 and $201 while parts are priced at $72.

Can a temperature sensor cause a car not to start?

The sensor will not cause a no start. It could cause a hard start and a rich or lean condition only.

Can a coolant temp sensor keep a car from starting?

How long does it take to replace a fuel pressure sensor?

A professional mechanic would require roughly 5 hours. (If just the regulator is replaced that takes about 1 hour).
