P0462 LOW VOLTAGE DETECTED AT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

When Monitored and Set Condition:

When Monitored: Ignition on and battery voltage above 10.4 volts.
Set Condition: The signal voltage from the sensor falls below a calibrated value for a calibrated amount of time.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

  • FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
  • (G8) SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
  • (G8) SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
  • INTERMITTENT CONDITION
  • ECM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

  1. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Fuel Level Sensor harness connector. Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the sensor across the (G8) signal circuit and (K4) return circuit. Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?
    Yes --> Go To 2
    No --> Replace the fuel level sensor. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL).
  2. Disconnect the ECM harness connectors. Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the (G8) signal circuit between the ECM harness connector and the sensor harness connector. Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?
    Yes --> Go To 3
    No --> Repair the open (G8) signal circuit. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL).
  3. Measure the voltage between the (G8) signal circuit and battery negative. Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?
    Yes --> Repair the (G8) signal circuit shorted to voltage. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL).
    No --> Go To 4
  4. Reconnect the ECM harness connector. While monitoring with the DRBIII®, connect a jumper wire between the (G8) signal circuit in the sensor harness connector and battery negative. Did the DTC P0463 set?
    Yes --> Test Complete.
    No --> Replace the ECM. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL).
