P0180 Code - Fuel Temperature Sensor 'A' Circuit Malfunction

What Does P0180 Mean?

P0180 is a generic OBD-II code that is triggered by a malfunctioning fuel temperature sensor 'A.' This could indicate that the sensor is not within specification, or that the fuel temperature or fuel rail is too hot or too cold.

What are the common causes of P0180 ?

DTC P0180 may have number of causes:

• Electrical Short Circuit or Open Circuit – Wiring problems are usually the biggest problem affecting the FTS. Water entry, corrosion, and wire harness damage can all cause intermittent problems in the FTS-ECM circuit.
• Faulty Fuel Temperature Sensor or ECM – Neither of these is “common,” but that doesn’t mean they cannot fail. The FTS itself is a fairly bulletproof solid-state thermistor, and therefore isn’t a common failure point. The ECM, similarly, isn’t prone to failure, but can be induced by other problems, such as water entry or collision damage.

What are the symptoms of P0180 ?

Aside from an illuminated MIL, you may or may not notice any drivability symptoms. At a very minimum, you will experience poor fuel economy. Other symptoms may include hard starting and poor performance.

How do you troubleshoot P0180 ?

The engine system, in conjuction with the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM), activates the P0180 code solenoid valve to control oil pressure to the engine mechanism that is installed in the valve system to switch valve timing between Low and High.If the engine solenoid valve has an open or short circuit, a DTC is stored.
