REPLACEMENT
 ), then go to step 24. 

18. Connect the fuel tank unit 5P connector.  

19. Reconnect the gauge control module 36P connector.  

20. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

NO -Replace the gauge control module (see REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND 
TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE 
), then 
go to step 24. 

24. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

25. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.  

26. Reconnect all connectors.  

27. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

28. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.  

29. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).  

30. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0463 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the fuel gauge 
sending unit, then go to step 1. 

NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the 
indicated DTC's troubleshooting. 

31. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.  

32. Reconnect all connectors.  

33. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or 

substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).  

34. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0463 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the fuel gauge 
sending unit. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING 
THE ECM/PCM
 ), then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, 
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or 
DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. 

FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 

If you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is on, you will hear 
some noise if you listen to the fuel fill port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the fuel pump does not make noise, check as follows: 

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

2. Remove the glove box (see GLOVE BOX REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then remove PGM-FI
