Hi all, I have a P0183 code which is a Fuel Temp Sensor failure. I talked to subaru parts and they said that you cannot buy the sensor; you have to replace the entire fuel pump assembly. Has anyone dealt with this problem? I found a denso assembly for $195 compared to the OE assembly which would cost me around $300. Would you do the Denso or spend the extra bucks for the OE? Also, do anyone know whether the 2.2L assemblies are the same as the 2.5L?

 

thanks in advance

Hi all, I have a P0183 code which is a Fuel Temp Sensor failure.[...]

No, the definition of P0183 is "Fuel temperature sensor A circuit high input". That's not the same as saying the sensor has failed. It's just as likely (perhaps more so) that there's a bad connection at the fuel pump connector or elswhere in the path between the sensor and the ECU. I suggest you look over the wiring/connectors before assuming the sensor is bad.

Will do! I will start checking the connectors, volts and resistance later this week.

 

thanks,
