Repair Issue:
Erratic Fuel Level Gauge, Fuel Guage Not Working
Cause:
Fuel Level Sensors
Customer Concern:
P0464, P0463, P2068 for the fuel level sensor. There is an erratic fuel level gauge.
Test/Procedure:
Random open circuit in one or both fuel level sensors. The sender with the fuel pump sweeps from 105 ohms empty to 4 ohms full. The sub sender sweeps 95 ohms empty to 4 ohms full. The senders are in series and any open circuit will set “High” codes. Recommend they be replaced as a set.
Tech Tip
Replace full set of senders instead of only replacing one.
Important Take-A-Way:
Save time and a chance of a return customer by replacing all senders when needing to replace one.
Most Popular Fix:
Replaced/Repositioned Both Fuel Level Sensors, Replaced Fuel Pump / Sending Unit Assembly
