DTC P0460
DTC P0460 : Fuel Level Sensor (Fuel Gauge Sending Unit) Out of Range
NOTE:
- Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .
- If DTC P0462 and/or P0463 are stored at the same time as DTC P0460, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for DTC P0460.

| P0460 Fuel Level Sensor (Fuel Gauge Sending Unit) Out of Range |
DTC (PGM-FI)
- Problem verification
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- 3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and wait 10 seconds.
- 5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC P0460 Fuel Level Sensor (Fuel Gauge Sending Unit) Out of Range Is DTC P0460 indicated?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .
- Shorted wire check (FUEL GAUGE+ line)
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Remove the gauge control module.
- 3. Disconnect the following connectors.
Fuel tank unit 4P connector Gauge control module connector A (32P) - 4. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Fuel tank unit 4P connector: disconnected Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Test point 1 Fuel tank unit 4P connector (female terminals) No. 2: Test point 2 Body ground Is there 1 MΩ or more?
YES
The FUEL GAUGE+ wire is not shorted. Go to step 3.
NO
Repair a short in the FUEL GAUGE+ wire between the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit.
- Open wire check (FUEL GAUGE+ line)
- 1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A Fuel tank unit 4P connector (female terminals) No. 2: Terminal B Body ground - 2. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Fuel tank unit 4P connector: disconnected Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Fuel tank unit 4P connector No. 2: jumped to body ground Test point 1 Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 22 - Refer to:
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2020 2021), or
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2016 2017 2018), or
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)Test point 2 Body ground Is there 1 Ω or less?
YES
The FUEL GAUGE+ wire is OK. Go to step 4.
NO
Repair an open in the FUEL GAUGE+ wire between the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit.
- Open wire check (FUEL GAUGE- line)
- 1. Remove the jumper wire from the fuel tank unit 4P connector.
- 2. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A Fuel tank unit 4P connector (female terminals) No. 4: Terminal B Body ground - 3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Fuel tank unit 4P connector: disconnected Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Fuel tank unit 4P connector No. 4: jumped to body ground Test point 1 Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 21 - Refer to:
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2020 2021), or
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2016 2017 2018), or
Gauge Control Module Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)Test point 2 Body ground Is there 1 Ω or less?
YES
The FUEL GAUGE- wire is OK. Go to step 5.
NO
Repair an open in the FUEL GAUGE- wire between the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit.
- Fuel gauge sending unit check
- 1. Remove the jumper wire from the fuel tank unit 4P connector.
- 2. Test the fuel gauge sending unit.
Is the fuel gauge sending unit OK?
YES
Replace the gauge control module .
NO
