Replace a Spare part Fuel temperature sensor – a defective one or if the limit of use has been already reached. Find out useful information about Fuel temperature sensor
A fuel temperature sensor is - in most cases - a sensor with a negative temperature coefficient. The colder the fuel, the higher the resistance of the device. Information from the sensor is transmitted to the engine control unit, which then regulates the timings of fuel injections.
5 tips on maintaining and replacing fuel temperature sensors
The fuel temperature sensor doesn’t have a defined service life, therefore, it only needs to be replaced when it stops working.
If you do not have experience in working with cars, it is advised to take your car to a repair shop to replace this part as working on it poses a fire hazard.
When installing the part prevent dirt from getting inside it, as this might cause the pump to breakdown or cause problems with other parts.
When examining and dismantling the fuel temperature sensor use gloves to protect your skin from fuel. This is also important in preventing fuel from getting on the cooling system components.
After the part has been replaced, make sure that there is no leakage where the device is connected.
Common problems with fuel temperature sensors - causes and symptoms
A short circuit inside the device. This normally occurs due to problems in the onboard network of the vehicle. This problem leads to the engine not gaining RPM and the acceleration dynamics becoming worse. An indication of this problem is the corresponding error of the onboard computer sign on the dashboard is lit.
Loss of air-tightness. This can be the consequence of a collision. A symptom of this problem is inaccurate readings. This issue can be discovered through computer diagnostic tests.
