Alternative Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit High
Alt fuel tank temp sensor signal voltage above expected range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Alt fuel tank temp sensor
- Sensor wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Signal wire open
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
