INFOID:0000000012197922

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:

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

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

to 

EC-419, "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

1.

PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure

before conducting the next test.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.

3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1. Start engine and wait maximum of 2 consecutive minutes.

2. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?

YES

>> Proceed to 

EC-393, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000012197923

Even though the vehicle is parked, a signal be-
ing varied is sent from the fuel level sensor to 
ECM.

• Harness or connectors

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:

• If DTC P0461 is displayed with DTC UXXXX, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC UXXXX.

• If DTC P0461 is displayed with DTC P0607, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0607. Refer

to 

EC-419, "DTC Logic"

.

Driving long distances naturally affect fuel gauge level.

This diagnosis detects the fuel gauge malfunction of the gauge not moving even after a long distance has

been driven.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

Perform component function check. Refer to 

EC-394, "Component Function Check"

.

Use component function check to check the overall function of the fuel level sensor function. During this

check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Proceed to 

EC-395, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000012197925

1.

PRECONDITIONING

WARNING:

When performing following procedure, be sure to observe the handling of the fuel. Refer to 

FL-2,

"General Precautions"

.

TESTING CONDITION:

Before starting component function check, preparation of draining fuel and refilling fuel is required.
Do you have CONSULT?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> GO TO 3.

2.

PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

With CONSULT

NOTE:
Start from step 10, 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.

1. Prepare a fuel container and a spare hose.

2. Release fuel pressure from fuel line, refer to 

EC-166, "Work Procedure"

.

3. Remove the fuel feed hose on the fuel level sensor unit.

4. Connect a spare fuel hose where the fuel feed hose was removed.

5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds then turn ON.

6. Select “FUEL LEVEL SE” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.

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

DTC No.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
(Fuel level sensor circuit 
range/performance)

The output signal of the fuel level sensor does 
not change within the specified range even 
though the vehicle has been driven a long dis-
tance.

• Harness or connectors

(The CAN communication line is open or 
shorted)

• Harness or connectors

(The sensor circuit is open or shorted)

• Combination meter

9. Touch “ON” and drain fuel approximately 30   (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8 Imp gal) and stop it.

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 0.03 V during step 7 to 10 and 10 to 12.
