P0463
DTC P0463: Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High InputTECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The fuel level sensor converts the rest of the fuel to a voltage and sends it to the combination meter.
The combination meter sends the data regarding the rest of the fuel to the ECM.
The ECM checks whether this data is within a specified range.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
An open circuit is detected while monitoring the fuel level sensor output.

ECM failed.
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991910: Main Harness A
STEP 1. Check fuel gauge.
Q: Is the fuel gauge functioning?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Refer to Chassis Electrical - Combination Meters Assembly - Symptom Chart.
STEP 2. Check the trouble symptoms.
1. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 24. OBD-II Drive Cycle
2. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0463 set?
YES: Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to ID Code Registration Judgment Table
NO: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
STEP 3. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
1. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 24. OBD-II Drive Cycle
2. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0463 set?
YES: Retry the troubleshooting.
NO: The inspection is complete.
