DTC P0461: - Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance

DTC P0461: - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

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 repeatedly moves in and out of range, exceeding the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified fuel fill percentage in the fuel tank.
Possible Causes: 
  • Excessive electrical noise
  • Intermittent open circuit
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify aftermarket equipment does not generate the radio frequency interference / electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) which may cause noisy FLI input signal.
