Circuit/System Description

The primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor change resistance based on fuel level. The engine control module (ECM) monitors

the signal circuits of the primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor in order to determine the fuel level. When the fuel tank is full,

the resistances of both fuel level sensors are low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage on both the signal circuits of the primary fuel level

sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor. When the fuel tank is empty, the resistances of the fuel level sensors are high and the ECM senses a high

signal voltage. The ECM uses the signal circuits of the primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor in order to calculate the

percentage of remaining fuel in the tank. The ECM sends the fuel level percentage via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM).

The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gauge.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running

* The system voltage is between 11-16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0461 or P2066

* The ECM detects a difference between the fuel consumed by the engine and change of the fuel level signal of less than 1 L (0.26 gal) over a

range of 30 L (7.92 gal) or 45.6% of the primary fuel tank.

* The above condition is present for about 300 seconds.

P0462 or P2067

* The signal voltage is less than 0.25 V.

* The above conditions must be met for 5 seconds.

P0463 or P2068

* The signal voltage is greater than 4.7 V.

* The above conditions must be met for 5 seconds.

P0464

* The fuel level change is greater than 10%.

* The above conditions must be met for 30 seconds.

* DTC P0464 runs and fails 2 out of 3 test cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* P0461, P0462, P0463, P0464, P2066, P2067 and P2068 are Type B DTCs

* The fuel gauge defaults to empty

* The low fuel indicator illuminates

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* P0461, P0462, P0463, P0464, P2066, P2067 and P2068 are Type B DTCs

* The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.

* The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.
