The PCM may also set this code if it determines that the input signal from the fuel level sensor is irrational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-level-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel level sensor\">fuel level sensor<\/a> is a device typically mounted at the top of the fuel tank or fuel pump module and is used to monitor the fuel level inside a vehicle&rsquo;s gas tank. The sensor is made of three main components: the float, the resistor, and the actuating rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"automotive replacement fuel level sensor\" class=\"wp-image-72601\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/automotive-replacement-fuel-level-sensor.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>A fuel level sensor is a device typically mounted at the top of the fuel tank or fuel pump module and is used to monitor the fuel level inside a vehicle&rsquo;s gas tank.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The oval-shaped float rests on the surface of the fuel and moves as the level of fuel inside the fuel tank changes. A thin strip of metal called the actuating rod connects the float to the resistor. As the float changes positions (depending on the fuel level), the actuating rod causes a wiper-like component in the resistor to move over a resistive material. This movement causes the current flowing to the gauge to change, thereby changing the fuel reading as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some vehicles, input data from the fuel level sensor is routed to a combination meter that in turn sends the data to the PCM through a data network. The PCM uses the input data from the fuel level sensor to determine how much fuel is inside the fuel tank and to monitor fuel usage and fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our closer look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0463-code-fuel-level-sensor-a-circuit-high\/#How_Fuel_Level_Sensors_Work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel level sensor\">fuel level sensor<\/a> for more information that could help you resolve code P0460.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note<\/em><\/strong><em>: The definition of code <\/em><em>P0460 <\/em><em>may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.

However, many trouble codes may not have any noticeable signs, save for an active malfunction indicator lamp. As for the P0460 code, listed below are some of its most common symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/check-engine-light-flashing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"check engine light on\">check engine light on<\/a><\/li><li>Unreliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-gauge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel gauge\">fuel gauge<\/a> reading<\/li><li>Diminished perceived fuel economy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Diagnose the P0460 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Misdiagnosis is a very real possibility when trying to troubleshoot a trouble code, such as P0460. One&rsquo;s goal when diagnosing a trouble code is to effectively and accurately pinpoint the root cause of the problem from a list of possible causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to have reliable sources of repair information, especially if you&rsquo;re trying to diagnose and\/or understand the P0460 code. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-you-should-always-consult-a-repair-manual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Vehicle-specific repair manuals and databases\">Vehicle-specific repair manuals and databases<\/a> are the best sources of information, as they contain detailed repair information and step-by-step troubleshooting procedures. They also have helpful illustrations and diagrams so you can better understand the issue at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the P0460 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing the P0460 code is challenging not only because there are a lot of possible causes to rule out, but also because vehicles are built differently depending on the manufacturer. In fact, terminology, components, as well as repair and diagnostic procedures vary greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, there are two possible definitions of code P0460 on a 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty King Ranch. One is defined as &ldquo;P0460:11- Fuel Level Sensor &ldquo;A&rdquo; Circuit: Circuit Short to Ground,&rdquo; while the other is defined as &ldquo;P0460:13- Fuel Level Sensor &ldquo;A Circuit: Circuit Open.&rdquo; Meanwhile, P0460 on a 2012 Mazda 3 S is defined as &ldquo;P0460: Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction.&rdquo; The setting conditions and possible solutions for the P0460 on Ford vehicles and Mazda vehicles also differ greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"fixing car with trouble code P0460\" class=\"wp-image-19178\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/car-repair-P0460.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Fixing the P0460 code is challenging not only because there are a lot of possible causes to rule out, but also because vehicles are built differently depending on the manufacturer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it&rsquo;s very important to consult a repair manual, especially if you&rsquo;re doing the repairs and diagnosis of P0460 yourself. However, if you&rsquo;re not confident about your troubleshooting skills or if you don&rsquo;t know how to do trouble code repairs, you can have a certified professional do the job for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Notes About P0460<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>P0460 can be caused by mechanical or electrical issues, and the severity of this code may depend on what type of problem caused it in the first place. On one hand, if the underlying issue is mechanical in nature, this code should be addressed immediately and treated as severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if the root cause is an electrical problem, this code may not be as serious because the PCM is able to make up for the fault. However, this does not mean that repairs shouldn&rsquo;t be done right away. In both cases, the trouble code should still be addressed with a certain level of urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related codes to the P0460 code include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0641-code-sensor-reference-voltage-a-circuitopen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0461- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Range\/Performance\">P0461- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Range\/Performance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0462-fuel-level-sensor-a-circuit-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0462- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Low Input\">P0462- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Low Input<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0463-code-fuel-level-sensor-a-circuit-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0463- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Input\">P0463- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Input<\/a><\/li><li>P0464- Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Intermittent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a New Fuel Pump To Resolve Code P0460<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A triggered P0460 code could spell trouble for your wallet.
