Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
DTC P0463: Fuel Level Sensor 'A' Circuit High Input: General Description
PCM monitors the voltage output signals of the Fuel Level Sensor (FLS) (#1) and the Fuel Sub Sender (#2). The combined resistance of the two sensors in series enables the fuel gage to determine fuel tank level. PCM also uses values from both sensors to determine condition of the EVAP system for leak detection. PCM monitors both fuel level sensors for the conditions of being stuck high or low, and differences between voltages of fuel level sensors. PCM will calculate if voltage deviation of fuel level sensors has exceeded a limit value while driving. This would be interpreted by the PCM as a fault.

- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
