Diagnostic Test

1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
2. For future reference, with the scan tool, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Did the DTC return?

Yes 

• Go To  2

No 

• Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Fuel Level Sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
   NOTE:

   The scan tool should display the P0463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH DTC as active or pending with the connector unplugged.

   Does the scan tool display as described above?

   Yes 

   • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Fuel Level Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Fuel Level Sensor if no problems were found with the connectors. Refer to SENDING UNIT AND SENSOR, FUEL LEVEL, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
   • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

   • Go To  3

1. The ignition must be off when checking a circuit for continuity to ground.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
4. With the positive lead of the DVOM, probe the circuit being tested at the component harness connector and check for continuity between the circuit and ground.

Is there continuity between ground and the circuit being tested?

Yes 

• Repair the circuit for a short to ground. Use the wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuit and look for any in-line connectors to help isolate the location of the short.
• Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

No 

• Go To  4

1. The ignition must be off when checking for a short between circuits.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Connect the test leads of the DVOM and check for continuity between the circuits being tested at the component harness connector.

Is there continuity between the circuits?

Yes 

• Repair the short between the circuits.
• Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

No 

• Go To  5

1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
   • Proper connector installation.
   • Damaged connector locks.
   • Corrosion.
   • Other signs of water intrusion.
   • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
   • Bent terminals.
   • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
   • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
   • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

   Repair any conditions that are found.

6. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
11. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

    Is the DTC active or pending?

    Yes 

    • Replace the Body Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
    • Test complete.
