DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
Driving long distances naturally affect fuel gauge level.
This diagnosis detects the fuel gauge malfunction of the gauge not moving even after a long distance has been driven.
DTC No. | CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) | DTC detecting condition | Possible cause |
P0461 | FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (Fuel level sensor ″A″ circuit range/performance) | The output signal of the fuel level sensor does not change within the specified range even though the vehicle has been driven a long distance. |

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
Perform component function check. Refer to EC-327, "Component Function Check".
Use component function check to check the overall function of the fuel level sensor function. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Proceed to EC-328, "Diagnosis Procedure".
Component Function Check
1.PRECONDITIONING
WARNING:
When performing following procedure, be sure to observe the handling of the fuel. Refer to EC-10, "General Precautions".
TESTING CONDITION:
Before starting component function check, preparation of draining fuel and refilling fuel is required.
Do you have CONSULT? YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
With CONSULT
NOTE:
Start from step 10, if it is possible to confirm that the fuel cannot be drained by 30 (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/ 8 Imp gal) in advance.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Proceed to EC-328, "Diagnosis Procedure".
3.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
Without CONSULT
NOTE:
Start from step 8, if it is possible to confirm that the fuel cannot be drained by 30 (7-7/8 US gal, 6-5/8 Imp gal) in advance.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Proceed to EC-328, "Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK COMBINATION METER FUNCTION
Refer to MWI-17, "CONSULT Function (METER/M&A)".
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".
NO >> Refer to MWI-58, "Diagnosis Procedure".
