DTC P0463:00 (PCM, VIN Y) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
  • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
  • Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data on the repair order.
- Go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (MAIN) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the fuel gauge sender unit (main) 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 13.
No 2WD:
  • Go to Step 5.

AWD:
  • Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (SUB) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the fuel gauge sender unit (sub) 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 13.
No Go to the next step.
5 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 13.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (MAIN) SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit (main) and rear body control module (RBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
    • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.
    • Measure the voltage at the fuel gauge sender unit (main) terminal D (wiring harness-side).
    • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes 2WD:
  • Go to Step 8.

AWD:
  • 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 (main) 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 13.
7 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (SUB) SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit (sub) and rear body control module (RBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
    • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.
    • Measure the voltage at the fuel gauge sender unit (sub) terminal A (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 (sub) terminal A and rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3K.
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 13.
8 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (MAIN) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit (main) 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 (main) terminal D-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3I
      • Fuel gauge sender unit (main) terminal C-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3C
  • Is there continuity?
Yes 2WD:
  • Go to Step 10.

AWD:
  • 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 (main) terminal D-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3I
  • Fuel gauge sender unit (main) 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 13.
9 INSPECT FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT (SUB) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the fuel gauge sender unit (sub) 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 (sub) terminal A-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3K
      • Fuel gauge sender unit (sub) terminal B-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 (sub) terminal A-Rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3K
  • Fuel gauge sender unit (sub) terminal B-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.
