DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0461
FUEL LEVEL STUCK
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the signal from
the fuel level sensor to calculate expected vapor pressure
within the fuel system. Vapor pressure varies as the fuel
level changes. The fuel level signal also used to determine
if the fuel level is too high or too low to be able to detect
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system faults. This Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates the fuel level stuck.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Change in fuel level sensor output is less than 3.5%
after 250 km (155 mile) driving.
S Ignition ON.
S DTCs P0462, P0463 and P0502 are not set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in Failure Records buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
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
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
rubber.
Check for a poor connection or damaged ECM harness.
Inspect the fuel level circuit terminal for the following con-
ditions:
S Improper mating.
S Broken locks.
S Improperly formed.
S Damaged terminals.
S Poor terminal–to–wire connection.
S Damaged harness.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0462
FUEL LEVEL LOW VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the signal from
the fuel level sensor to calculate expected vapor pressure
within the fuel system. Vapor pressure varies as the fuel
level changes. The fuel level signal also used to determine
if the fuel level is too high or too low to be able to detect
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system faults. This Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) detects a continuous short to
low or open in either the signal circuit or the fuel level sen-
sor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Fuel level sensor output is less than 5% of sensor
reading scale.
S Ignition ON.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in Failure Records buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
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 connector for backed–out terminal, im-
proper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or dam-
aged terminals, and poor terminal–to–wire connection.
Inspect wiring harness for damage.
A stuck fuel level sensor may cause the DTC set.
If the DTC P0462 cannot be duplicate, the information in-
cluded on the Failure record data can be useful in deter-
mine vehicle conditions when the DTC was first set.
Resistance checks for fuel level sensor:
S Empty = 280 ohms or over.
S Half Full = about 90 ohms.
S Full = 38 ohms or less

creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
