Alternative Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit High
Alt fuel tank temp sensor signal voltage above expected range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
