Diagnostic Procedure

DTC P0463:00 PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5 - WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
NOTE:
  • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
  • Record the snapshot data on the repair order.
- Go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
  • Verify related Service Information availability.
  • Is any related Service Information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the fuel gauge sender unit connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the rear body control module (RBCM) connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit and rear body control module (RBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
NOTE:
  • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.
  • Measure the voltage at the fuel gauge sender unit terminal D (wiring harness-side).
  • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between fuel gauge sender unit terminal D and rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3I.
If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 10.
6 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit and rear body control module (RBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Fuel gauge sender unit terminal D-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3I
    • Fuel gauge sender unit terminal C-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3C
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Fuel gauge sender unit terminal D-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3I
  • Fuel gauge sender unit terminal C-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3C

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 10.
7 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT Yes Replace the fuel gauge sender unit, then go to Step 10.
(See FUEL PUMP UNIT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION)] .)
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) Yes Replace the rear body control module (RBCM), then go to Step 10.
(See REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
9 INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER Yes Replace the instrument cluster, then go to the next step.
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
10 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
11 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION))] .)
