DTC P0181: Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance, DTC P0182: Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Input Or DTC P0183: Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Xterra and 2002 Nissan Frontier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the 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.
