DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0463
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HIGH VOLTAGE
(1.6L DOHC ONLY)
Circuit Description
The engine control module(ECM) uses the fuel level input
from the Fuel Level Sensor to calculate expected vapor
pressures within the fuel system. Vapor pressure vary as
the fuel level changes. Vapor pressure is critical in deter-
mining if the evaporative emission (EVAP) system is oper-
ating properly. Fuel Level is also used to determine if the
Fuel level is too high or too low to be able to accurately de-
tect EVAP system faults. This Diagnostic Trouble
Code(DTC) detects a stuck fuel level sender.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Fuel Level Sensor voltage is higher than 4.8V.
S Fuel Level Sensor circuit high voltage.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records data
only.
S This information will not be stored in the Freeze
Frame data.Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect harness connectors for backed–out terminal, im-
proper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or dam-
aged terminals, and poor terminal–to–wire connection.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
A stuck Fuel Level Sensor may cause the DTC to set. If
DTC P0463 cannot be duplicated, the information in-
cluded in the Freeze Frame data can be useful in deter-
mining vehicle operating conditions when the DTC was
first set.
Resistance check for the Fuel Level Sensor.
Empty = 100 ohms or over.
Half full = about 32.5 ohms.
Full = 10 ohms or less.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE CHECKSUM ERROR
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of
the fuel injection system. It constantly looks at the informa-
tion from various sensors, and controls the systems that
after vehicle performance. The ECM also performs the
diagnostic function of the system. It can recognize opera-
tional problems, alert the driver through the Malfunction In-
dicator Lamp (MIL), and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) or DTCs which identify the problem areas to aid the
technician in making repairs. An electrically erasable pro-
grammable read only memory (EEPROM) is used to
house the program information and the calibrations re-
quired for engine, transaxle, transaxle diagnostics opera-
tion. The ECM uses a value called a checksum for error
detection of the software. The checksum is a value that is
equal to all the numbers in the software added together.
The ECM adds all the values in the software and if that val-
ue does not equal the checksum value, a checksum error
is indicated.Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The ECM detects incorrect checksum.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate
after three consecutive trip with a fail.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fail. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycle in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
