DTC P0462: - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW

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 is less than the minimum allowable calibrated parameter for a specified fuel fill percentage in the fuel tank.
Possible Causes:	Empty fuel tank Fuel pump (FP) module concern Incorrectly installed fuel gauge Damaged instrument panel cluster (IPC) (E-Series, MKS) Damaged instrument cluster (IC) Damaged fuel gauge FLI circuit short to ground
Diagnostic Aids:	Monitor the FLI PIDs in ignition ON, engine running. A concern is present if the FLI percentage PID is at 25% fill and the FLI voltage PID is less than 0.90 volt with a non-matching fuel gauge or the FLI percentage PID is at 75% fill and the FLI voltage PID is greater than 2.45 volts with a non-matching fuel gauge.
