P0460 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

EC-321

< COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS >

[VQ35HR]

P0460 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000003133463

The fuel level sensor is mounted in the fuel level sensor unit.
The sensor detects a fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits a signal to the “unified meter and A/C amp.”. The
“unified meter and A/C amp.” sends the fuel level sensor signal to the ECM through CAN communication line.
It consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other is variable resistor. Fuel level sensor output volt-
age changes depending on the movement of the fuel mechanical float.

DTC Logic

INFOID:0000000003133464

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:
• If DTC P0460 is displayed with DTC U1000 or U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC

U1000, U1001.Refer to

EC-136, "DTC Logic"

• If DTC P0460 is displayed with DTC P0607, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0607. Refer

EC-338, "DTC Logic"

When the vehicle is parked, naturally the fuel level in the fuel tank is stable. It means that output signal of the
fuel level sensor does not change. If ECM senses sloshing signal from the sensor, fuel level sensor malfunc-
tion is detected.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

Start engine and wait maximum of 2 consecutive minutes.

Check 1st trip DTC.

Is 1st trip DTC detected?

YES

>> Go to

EC-321, "Diagnosis Procedure"

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000003133465
