Fuel Temperature Sensor (B) Circuit Intermittent

The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (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.

Cause:
Faulty Fuel Temperature Sensor
Fuel Temperature Sensor harness is open or shorted
Fuel Temperature Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Symptoms:
Check engine light
