Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range.
DTC P0463

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
Schematic Reference: Instrument Cluster Schematics 
1 Did you perform the IPC Diagnostic System Check? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter in the powertrain control module (PCM) Enhanced EVAP data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is greater than the specified value?		 98% Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
3 
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect C402.
  3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor and the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor (female terminal side).
  4. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is less than the specified value?		 4% Go to Step 6  Go to Step 4 
4 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 5 
5 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, a high resistance, or for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
6 Test the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C402 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the low reference circuit of the fuel level sensor for an open, a high resistance, or for a short to voltage between C408 and the fuel level sensor. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the fuel level sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the fuel level sensor. Refer to Fuel Level Sensor Replacement - Left in Engine Controls - 5.7L.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
11
IMPORTANT: Program the replacement PCM.
Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement in Engine Controls - 5.7L.Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
12
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK
