WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0462 - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel level input (FLI) communications network message for a concern. The test fails when the FLI signal is less than the minimum allowable calibrated parameter for a specified fuel fill percentage in the fuel tank.
Possible Causes: 
  • Empty fuel tank
  • Fuel pump (FP) module concern
  • Incorrectly installed fuel gauge
  • Damaged instrument cluster
  • Damaged fuel gauge
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the FLI PID in key ON, engine running. A concern is present if the FLI PID is less than 25% fill with a non-matching fuel gauge or the FLI PID is greater than 75% fill with a non-matching fuel gauge.
