DTC P0462, P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
DTC P0462, P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUITPFP:25060
Component DescriptionNBS0051J
The fuel level sensor is mounted in the fuel level sensor unit.
The sensor detects a fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits a signal
to the “unified meter and A/C amp.”. The “unified meter and A/C
amp.” sends the fuel level sensor signal to the ECM through CAN
communication line.
It consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other is vari-
able resistor. Fuel level sensor output voltage changes depending on
the movement of the fuel mechanical float.

DTC P0550 PSP SENSOR
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
DTC P0550 PSP SENSORPFP:49763
Component DescriptionNBS00521
Power steering pressure (PSP) sensor is installed to the power
steering high-pressure tube and detects a power steering load.
This sensor is a potentiometer which transforms the power steering
load into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator and adjusts
the throttle valve opening angle to increase the engine speed and
adjusts the idle speed for the increased load.
