P01B6 — Alternative Fuel Rail Temperature Sensor Circuit Low

Alt fuel rail temp sensor signal voltage below 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.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Alt fuel rail temp sensor
  • Sensor wiring

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Signal wire shorted to ground
  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Harness chafing through insulation

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions

Check each reference's vehicle and model-year scope. General background links do not establish which fault is most likely on your vehicle.

Diagnostic information is provided for reference only. Confirm the code with a compatible scan tool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures before replacing components.
