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
 
(Z912), (Z210) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
 
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
 
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
 


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



Diagnostic Test

NOTE: Diagnose any CAN - B and CAN - C 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 gauge change from full to empty?

Yes


No
  • Go To 3

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








Is the voltage above 0 volts?

Yes


No
  • Go To 4

4.(Z910), (Z210) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN






Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes
  • Go To 5


No

5.INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

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