WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Mercury Mariner, 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC 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 panel cluster (IPC)
  • Damaged instrument cluster (IC)
  • Damaged fuel gauge
  • FLI circuit short to ground
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the FLI PIDs in ignition ON, engine running. A concern is present if the FLI percentage PID is at 25% fill and the FLI voltage PID is less than 0.90 volt with a non-matching fuel gauge or the FLI percentage PID is at 75% fill and the FLI voltage PID is greater than 2.45 volts with a non-matching fuel gauge.
