P0463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


  • When Monitored:

    Ignition on and battery voltage above 10.4 volts.

  • Set Condition:

    The fuel level sensor signal voltage at the PCM goes above 4.9 volts for more than 90 seconds. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.


Possible Causes
 
(N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
 
(N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
 
(K310) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
 
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
 
CAN C BUS CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED
 
BCM
 
PCM
 


Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).



Diagnostic Test

1.FUEL LEVEL SENSOR VOLTS ABOVE 4.9 VOLTS

NOTE: Diagnose and CAN C Bus communication DTCs before continuing.





Is the Fuel Level Sensor voltage above 4.9 volts?

Yes
  • Go To 2


No

2.FUEL LEVEL SENSOR









Did the Fuel Level Sensor voltage change from above 4.8 volts to below 0.4 of a volt with the jumper wire installed?

Yes


No
  • Go To 3

    NOTE: Remove the jumper wire before continuing.


3.(N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE








Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

Yes


No
  • Go To 4

4.(N4) FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN






Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
  • Go To 5


No

5.(K310) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN





Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
  • Go To 6


No

6.BCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the BCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.




Were there any problems found?

Yes


No
