    What Does P0462 Mean?

    The PCM has detected a voltage input signal from the fuel level sensor (or gauge) that does not coincide with the actual amount of fuel in the tank.

    What are the common causes of P0462 ?

    Typical causes of code P0462 are much the same across all applications, and these could include the following-
    • Burnt, damaged, shorted, or corroded wiring and/or connectors.
    • Open circuits.
    • Loss of ground.
    • Defective fuel level sender unit.
    • Damage to the fuel tank that inhibits the free movement of the moveable arm. Note that not all applications will set the code if damage to the fuel tank occurs.
    • Defective PCM/BCM. Note that this is a rare event, and the fault must be sought elsewhere before any controller is replaced.
    NOTE: On some Ford products, fuel with high sulphur content can cause the build-up of a type of varnish on the variable resistor, which build-up prevents contact between the resistor and the moveable contact, thus setting code P0462. While some aftermarket fuel additives might assist in removing the varnish deposit, the better option is to replace the fuel level sensor unit.

    How do you troubleshoot P0462 ?

    The valves of each cylinder are kept closed using a pair of arms that replace the conventional engine's roller-type rocker arm. P0462 code one of these arms follows the cam profile while the second arm connects to the valves. During normal engine operation the two arms are joined by a locking pin.
