any way to test fuel temperature sensor?

[jetblack]

Ive got an error code showing that my fuel temperature sensor voltage is too high.

P0183 Volkswagen - Fuel Temperature Sensor 'A' Circuit High Input


I've read that thIs code can be caused due to damaged wiring near the connector (I believe the sensor is to the right and just infront of the cylinder head but after inspecting it I cant see any damage to the wiring.

Before I splash out on a new sensor are there any tests I can do to rule out the wiring/prove the sensor is duff?

can you read an actual temp? I would check the connections and look for info on the spec' ie: resistance at "hot" and "cold" or just get a new one

Have only got an obd dongle and torque pro. This doesn't seem to be able to display what this sensor is seeing so I can't tell from that if its working or not. Suspect I will just have to replace it to rule it out.

it's 1500 2000 ohms @30'C and 275-375ohms @80'C
