Possible causes:

- Open in FF sensor VPWR harness circuit.

- Short to ground in FF sensor VPWR harness circuit.

- Open in battery ground to FF sensor circuit.

- Short to power in FF sensor battery ground circuit.

- Open in FF sensor signal circuit.

- Short to power in FF sensor signal circuit.

- Short to ground in FF sensor signal circuit.

- Fuel separation.

- Damaged FF sensor.

Damaged Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

- Key "OFF".

- Disconnect FF sensor.

- Key "ON".

- Measure VPWR voltage between the FF sensor VPWR pin at the vehicle harness connector and battery ground.

- Key "OFF".

- Is the voltage greater than 10.5 volts?
