STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 53:
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

53, Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

• Approximately the same as the ambient air temperature

when the engine is cooled.

(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 − How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector D-22 at the fuel tank
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 3. Check the fuel tank temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the fuel tank temperature sensor connector

D-22.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 3

of the fuel tank temperature sensor.

Standard value:

0.5 − 12.0 kΩ

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.5 and 12.0 kΩ?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the fuel tank temperature sensor. Then go to

Step 10.

STEP 4. Check the sensor supply voltage at fuel tank
temperature sensor harness side connector D-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-22 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 3 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

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

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 6. Check the sensor supply voltage at ECM
connector B-10 by using power plant ECU check harness
special tool MB992110.
(1) Disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the power plant

ECU check harness special tool MB992110 between the
separated connectors.

(2) Disconnect the fuel tank temperature sensor connector

D-22.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 115 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Check harness connector C-47 at intermediate

connector for damage, and repair or replace as
required. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection

P.00E-2

. If the intermediate connector is in

good condition, repair the harness wire between fuel
tank temperature sensor connector D-22 (terminal
No. 3) and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 115)
because of open circuit. Then go to Step 10.

NO : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced,

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code
Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles
with KOS>

P.42B-11

or GROUP 42C, ID Codes

Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM>

P.42C-9

. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 7. Check the continuity at fuel tank temperature
sensor harness side connector D-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-22 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 1 and

ground.

• Continuity (2 ohms or less)

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Repair harness wire between fuel tank temperature

sensor connector D-22 (terminal No. 1) and ground
because of open circuit or harness damage. Then go
to Step 10.
