My car listed above has a CEL when I scan with an ODM-ll, I get a P0181 code...I Have already tested all the wiring and connections for damage and continuity. Please help... I have been researching for weeks now and I’m at the point where I’m going to lower my fuel tank to see if that’s where a sensor goes because everything on the Internet points to it being integrated into the fuel pump. The problem is, I don’t have any idea where it goes in the fuel pump and the thread on it looks like it’s placed and either the fuel tank or the engine block somewhere.
