WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0460 - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel level input (FLI) communications network message for a concern. The PCM calculates the amount of fuel used during operation. The test fails when the PCM determines the value of the FLI signal is stuck. This DTC sets if the FLI signal does not change or does not correspond with the calculated fuel usage.
Possible Causes: 
  • Stuck float arm
  • Fuel level is always greater than 95% due to refueling patterns
  • Fuel level is always less than 5% due to refueling patterns
  • Fuel level is always at the same level between 3% and 97% full due to refueling patterns
  • Fuel pump (FP) module concern
  • Damaged instrument panel cluster (IPC)
  • Damaged instrument cluster (IC)
Diagnostic Aids:  Check with the customer for driving and fueling habits that would keep the fuel level at approximately the same value. Monitor the FLI PIDs while attempting to move the fuel level float by adding or removing fuel as necessary.
