A temperature sensor shorted high means that the ecm is seeing reference voltage on the signal line.

Try this; turn the ignition switch off, unplug the electrical connector from the fuel temp sensor, turn key back on... does the fault code change?

Unplugged the light should be on, but the code description should change......
