   Is DTC P0463 indicated?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

2. Open wire check (FUEL GAUGE- line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Remove the gauge control module .

   -3. Disconnect the following connectors.

   Fuel tank unit 4P connector

   -5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Fuel tank unit 4P connector: disconnected
   	Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
   	Fuel tank unit 4P connector No. 4: jumped to body ground
   Test point 1	Gauge control module 32P connector No. 18
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the FUEL GAUGE- wire between the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit.

3. Open wire check (FUEL GAUGE+ line)

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Fuel tank unit 4P connector: disconnected
   	Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
   	Fuel tank unit 4P connector No. 2: jumped to body ground
   Test point 1	Gauge control module 32P connector No. 11
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the FUEL GAUGE+ wire between the gauge control module and the fuel tank unit.

4. Fuel gauge sending unit check

   -1. Remove the jumper wire from the fuel tank 4P connector.

   -2. Test the fuel gauge sending unit .

   Is the fuel gauge sending unit OK?

   YES 

   Replace the gauge control module .
