10. Check “FUEL LEVEL SE” output voltage and note it.

11. Fill fuel into the fuel tank for 30   (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8 Imp gal).

12. Check “FUEL LEVEL SE” output voltage and note it.
13. Confirm whether the voltage changes more than 0.03V during step 7 to 10 and 10 to 12.

If NG, go to 

EC-989, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

 WITH GST

NOTE:
Start from step 8, if it is possible to confirm that the fuel cannot be drained by 30   (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8
Imp gal) in advance.

Drain fuel by 30   (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8 Imp gal) from the fuel tank using proper equipment.

7.

Confirm that the fuel gauge indication varies.

8.

Fill fuel into the fuel tank for 30   (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8 Imp gal).

9.

Confirm that the fuel gauge indication varies.

DTC P0462, P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

DTC P0462, P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

Component Description

INFOID:0000000001326833

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 commu-
nication line.
It consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other is vari-
able resistor. Fuel level sensor output voltage changes depending on
the movement of the fuel mechanical float.

On Board Diagnosis Logic

INFOID:0000000001326834

NOTE:
• If DTC P0462 or P0463 is displayed with DTC U1000 or U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for

DTC U1000, U1001. Refer to 

EC-724

.

• If DTC P0462 is displayed with DTC U1010, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1010. Refer

to 

EC-726

.

This diagnosis indicates the former, to detect open or short circuit malfunction.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

INFOID:0000000001326835

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11V at ignition
switch ON.

1.

Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 5 seconds.

2.

Check 1st trip DTC.

3.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-990, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Fuel level sensor circuit 
low input

An excessively low voltage from the sensor is 
sent to ECM.

• Harness or connectors

(The CAN communication line is open or 
shorted)

• Harness or connectors

(The sensor circuit is open or shorted)

• Unified meter and A/C amp.
• Fuel level sensor

P0463
0463

Fuel level sensor circuit 
high input

An excessively high voltage from the sensor is 
sent to ECM.

Description

INFOID:0000000001326838

NOTE:
• If DTC P0500 is displayed with DTC U1000 or U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC

U1000, U1001. Refer to 

EC-724

.

• If DTC P0500 is displayed with DTC U1010, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1010. Refer

to 

EC-726

.

The vehicle speed signal is sent to the “unified meter and A/C amp.” from the “ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit)” by CAN communication line. The “unified meter and A/C amp.” then sends a signal to the ECM
by CAN communication line.

FAIL-SAFE MODE

When the malfunction is detected, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

INFOID:0000000001326840

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Steps 1 and 2 may be conducted with the drive wheels lifted in the shop or by driving the vehicle. If a
road test is expected to be easier, it is unnecessary to lift the vehicle.

 WITH CONSULT-III

Start engine (VDC switch OFF).

2.

Read “VHCL SPEED SE” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III. The vehicle speed on CON-
SULT-III should exceed 10 km/h (6 MPH) when rotating wheels with suitable gear position.
If NG, go to 

EC-993, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If OK, go to following step.
