DTC P0461: Notes
DTC P0461 DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES
| DTC P0461 |
Fuel gauge sender unit circuit range/performance |
| DETECTION CONDITION |
- PCM monitors the fuel level voltage difference before and after the PCM-calculated fuel consumption has reached 25 L {26.4 US qt., 22 lmp qt.}
. If the difference is 5% less than
the PCM-calculated fuel consumption, the PCM determines that the fuel gauge sender unit range/performance is in error.
Diagnostic support note
- This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
- MIL illuminates if the PCM detects above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
- PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
- FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
- DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.

| POSSIBLE CAUSE |
- Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction or substandard performance
- Instrument cluster malfunction
- PCM malfunction
