Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra. Service manual — part 2424
The low fuel indicator illuminates.
The ECM records the operating conditions at the time that the diagnostic test fails. The
ECM displays the failure information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
A defective fuel level sensor most likely will not set DTC P0463. The sensor has a 500 ohm
default resistor that will prevent it from meeting the code setting criteria of this DTC. Look for
problems in the wiring and in the inline and harness connectors at the sensor and ECM.

Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is between 4-98 percent.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit
terminal B and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage
or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the
low reference circuit terminal B. Verify the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter
display is greater than 98 percent.
If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an
open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel level sensor.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuel level sender.
2. While sweeping the fuel level sensor through its full range of motion, test for a minimum
resistance value of less than 41 ohms and a maximum value greater than 119 ohms between
the signal terminal C and the low reference terminal B.
If not within the specified range, replace the fuel level sensor.

Fuel Level Sensor 1 Circuit Intermittent
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The fuel level sensor changes resistance in response to the fuel level. The engine control module
(ECM) monitors the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor in order to determine the fuel level.
When the fuel tank is full, the sensor resistance is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage.
When the fuel tank is empty, the sensor resistance is high and the ECM senses a high signal
voltage. The ECM uses the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor in order to calculate the
percentage of remaining fuel in the tank. The ECM sends the fuel level percentage via GMLAN
serial data circuit to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gage. The fuel information
is also used for misfire, evaporative emission (EVAP), and other on-board diagnostics.
This diagnostic tests for an intermittent fuel level sender signal. If a change in fuel level is
detected DTC P0442 is aborted due to a possible refueling event. A refueling event test is
executed to confirm that a refueling event has occurred. If refueling is confirmed, the test for
DTC P0464 is considered passing. The refueling event test must pass 2 out of 3 times, otherwise,
the DTC will set indicating an intermittent signal problem.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is OFF.
DTC P0442 is running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The fuel level change is greater than 10 percent.
The above condition is present for less than 30 seconds.
Both conditions above occur 2 out of 3 times as part of a refueling event test.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0442 is aborted.
The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM
displays the failure information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.
