Table 1.
SPN 174/FMI 3
Description This Fault Code Sets when the Motor Control Module (MCM) Detects
an Open or Short to Power on the Fuel Temperature Sensor Circuit
Monitored Parameter Fuel Temperature
Typical Enabling Conditions Ignition On
Monitor Sequence None
Execution Frequency Always
Typical Duration Two Seconds
Dash Lamps
Engine Reaction None
Verification Cycle the Ignition Off, then Back On
Check as follows:
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect and inspect the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector (2) harness side. Is there any corrosion
present?
a. Yes; replace the fuel temperature sensor and the electrical connector.
For DD5: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
For DD8: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
b. No; Go to step 3.
3. Are any of the pins or the connector damaged?
a. Yes; Go to step 4.
b. No; Go to step 5.
4. Inspect the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector component side. Are any of the pins or the connector
damaged?
a. Yes; replace the fuel temperature sensor and the electrical connector.
For DD5: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
For DD8: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
b. No; replace the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector. Verify repair.
5. Use the appropriate flex probe to check the pins in the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector harness side. Are
the pins spread?
a. Yes; replace the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector. Verify repair.
b. No; Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
7. Measure the voltage between pins 1 and 2 of the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector harness side. Is the
voltage between 2.5 and 3.5 volts?
a. Yes; replace the fuel temperature sensor.
For DD5: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
For DD8: Refer to section "Removal of the Supply Fuel Temperature Sensor". Verify repair.
b. No; Go to step 8.
8. Measure the voltage between pin 2 of the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector harness side and ground. Is the
voltage between 2.5 and 3.5 volts
a. Yes; repair the circuit between pin 1 of the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector harness side and the
circuit splice.
b. No; repair the circuit between pin 2 of the of the fuel temperature sensor electrical connector harness side and
pin 77 of the MCM 120-pin electrical connector harness side.
