DTC P0461: Fuel Level Sensor "A" Circuit Range / Performance; DTC P0462: Fuel Level Sensor "A" Circuit Low; DTC P0463: Fuel Level Sensor "A" Circuit High [08/2015 - 08/2018]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Toyota Sequoia, 2017 Toyota Sequoia, and 2016 Toyota Sequoia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fuel sender gauge is located inside the fuel tank and measures the amount of fuel. The fuel sender gauge converts the fuel level in the fuel tank into a resistance value, and outputs this value. The ECM determines when it is necessary to refuel the vehicle based on changes in the resistance value of the fuel sender gauge.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0461 | Despite consuming a certain amount of fuel, the change in the resistance value of the fuel sender gauge is below the threshold. (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0462 | The resistance value of the fuel sender gauge is below the threshold. (2 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0463 | The resistance value of the fuel sender gauge exceeds the threshold. (2 trip detection logic) |
