DTC P0446 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

Damaged harness±Inspect the wiring harness to the
EVAP canister vent solenoid, EVAP canister purge
solenoid and the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
intermittent open or short circuit.

Kinked, pinched, or plugged vent hose±Verify that the
vent hose between the EVAP canister and EVAP
canister vent solenoid is not restricted.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determinehow often the condition that caused the DTC to be
set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the
condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. If a vent solenoid electrical fault is present, the purge
system will not operate correctly. Repairing the
electrical fault will very likely correct the condition
that set DTC P0446.
3. Checks the fuel tank pressure sensor at ambient
pressure.
4. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor accurately
reacts to EVAP system pressure changes.
6. Checks for a blocked EVAP canister.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0461 Fuel Level Sensor Performance
060RY00163
Circuit Description
The fuel level sensor is an important input to powertrain
control module (PCM) for the enhanced evaporative
system diagnostic. Fuel level information is needed for
the PCM to know the volume of fuel in the tank. The fuel
level affects the rate of change in air pressure in the
evaporative system.
The sending unit is a float in the fuel tank which moves a
wiper arm across a variable resistor. Low fuel level
causes high resistance in the sending unit, and this is
recognized by the PCM because the circuit operates at a
corresponding low voltage. When the circuit is
continuously open or has a high resistance connection,
DTC P0461 is set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

Sensor output change is more than 2% within 200km.
Or Sensor movement position change is less than
15% within 200km.

IAT is more than 0
C.

MAP changing in 3 sec is less than 10kPa.

Engine speed changing in 3 sec is less than 50rpm.When there are 12 test failures within 80 test samples, it is
stored.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0461 can be cleared by using the scan tool
ªClear Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids

Damaged harness±Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
fuel level display on the scan tool while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of the
fault.

P0462 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit±Low Voltage
060RY00163
Circuit Description
The fuel level sensor is an important input to powertrain
control module (PCM) for the enhanced evaporative
system diagnostic. Fuel level information is needed for
the PCM to know the volume of fuel in the tank. The fuel
level affects the rate of change in air pressure in the
evaporative system. Several of the enhanced
evaporative system diagnostic sub-tests are dependent
upon correct fuel level information. The diagnostic will not
run when the tank is more than 85% or less than 15% full.
Fuel level DTCs should be diagnosed before other
evaporative system DTCs because they can cause other
DTCs to be set.
The sending unit is a float in the fuel tank which moves a
wiper arm across a variable resistor. Low fuel level
causes high resistance in the sending unit, and this is
recognized by the PCM because the circuit operates at a
corresponding low voltage. When the circuit is
continuously open or has a high resistance connection,
DTC P0462 is set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

Fuel tank level ªslosh testº is completed.

Fuel tank level ªmain testº is completed.

Fuel tank level data is valid.

Fuel tank level signal is less than a specified value.

There are 100 test failures within a 200-test sample.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº after three
consecutive trips without a fault condition present. A
history DTC will be cleared if no fault conditions have
been detected for 40 warm-up cycles (engine coolant
temperature has risen 4
C (40
F) from the start-up
ECT, and ECT exceeds 71
C (160
F) during that
same ignition cycle).

DTC P0462 can be cleared by using the scan tool
ªClear Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids

Damaged harness±Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
fuel level display on the scan tool while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of the

causes low resistance in the sending unit. This is
recognized by the PCM because the circuit operates at a
corresponding high voltage. When the circuit is
continuously shorted to a voltage source greater than a
specified value, or when the 5 volt signal is shorted to
ground, DTC P0463 is set.
