DTC P0461 Fuel gauge sender unit circuit range/performance
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • PCM monitors fuel level voltage difference before and after PCM-calculated fuel consumption has reached more than 24.5 L {25.9 US qt., 21.6 Imp qt.}  . If the difference is less than 5%,  the PCM determines that fuel gauge sender unit range/performance is in error.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • MIL illuminates if PCM detects above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction
  • Instrument cluster malfunction
  • PCM malfunction
