This is the second time that i pulled the code P0182. on my 05 f150 the first time being a few months ago. the first time i cleared it and it hasn't come on until now, just after i installed an aftermarket exhaust. (maybe it is the cause?) I looked the code up and it said it was "fuel temperature sensor A circuit low input" ??? have no idea what the sensor does.

anyway i was wondering if anyone knew more information about it, thanks

 

Hope this might help. Came from Ford PCED Manual.

DD51 CONTINUOUS MEMORY DTCS P0182 OR P0183: INTERMITTENT CHECK

• Key ON, engine OFF. Note: The PID referred to below may read as EFT on some diagnostic tools.
• Access the PCM and monitor the FRT V PID.
• While observing the PID, carry out the following:
  • Tap on the sensor to simulate road shock.
  • Wiggle the sensor connector.
  • Wiggle, shake, and bend small sections of the wiring harness while working from the sensor to the PCM.
• Check the FRT or FRPT and PCM connectors for damage and corrosion.

Is a fault present?

I got the same code and mt truck is stock. I called 3 ford parts stores and none of them know what the EFT is. I was told the EFT is only on Diesel trucks by one ford mechanic.

I am at a loss, cuz another ford truck mechanic says he has no idea what it is either.

LMK if you get anywhere with it
