Diagnostic Trouble Code of P0460 what does that mean

Here's a link to your P0460 code and how to fix. OBDII Code P0460 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction Nissanhelp com

P0460 Fuel Tank Level Sensor Circuit
fuel tank level sensor circuit

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

• Faulty spark plugs or wires
• Faulty coil (pack)
• Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
• Faulty fuel injector(s)
• Burned exhaust valve
• Faulty catalytic converter(s)
• Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
• Faulty camshaft position sensor
• Defective compute
• P1105MAP/BARO Pressure Switch Solenoid Valve
• Check and clean the MAP sensor, or replace.
• P1492EVAP Canister Purge Control/Solenoid Valve (Circuit)
• Replacing the purge solenoid will clear code P1492 This should also clear code P0300 as well.
  

The Code P0460 means you are running Rich. This is being picked up by the O2 sensors.

What happens is an air leak in the intake side of the engine(any seam) of the engine is measured and this added airflow makes the top part of the engine lean. Automatically the sensors start dumping more gas to maintain fuel ratio. Because of this , the exhaust gas spikes from the excess fuel.

You need to find the air leak. Sometimes using a spray bottle of water around seams and Vacuum lines and solenoids will change the idle RPM. The running engine will draw in the water and react.

If this does not work, check the fuel pressure at the test tap. Some tools can be borrowed from Autozone,Advance, or Oreilys. If you have high pressure, this could be the result of the lean reading or a defective fuel pressure regulator.

I hope my solution helps. At this point, we Experts can not see what other Experts have recommended. So there is a good chance some of this has already been suggested.

P0460 Code - Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction.

I'm not sure what you mean by you mixed gas, does that mean you switched to a different station or octane level? Does the gas gauge still work fine? As long as it works fine you could keep driving for a few more tanks to see if the problem goes away. If you overfill or run the tank too low it can cause issues with the fuel sender.

When the pump clicks off, you're done filling. Though at 175K miles the fuel sender could just have gone bad. If you start to see symptoms then take it into the shop definitely. About the only thing you could do prior to that is if you're comfortable you could use a digital volt ohm meter (DVOM) and measure the sensor readings at the tank (at the electrical connections).

Good luck.

Not sure if this helps or not, but here is information from the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Service Manual, ezg_25.pdf, page 6 of 20…

Hex Code = 95
Generic Scan Tool Code = P0462
DRB Scan Tool Display = Fuel Level Sending Unit Volts Too Low
Description of Diagnostic Trouble Code = Open circuit between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit.

Hex Code = 96
Generic Scan Tool Code = P0463
DRB Scan Tool Display = Fuel Level Sending Unit Volts Too High
Description of Diagnostic Trouble Code = Circuit shorted to voltage between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit.

Hex Code = 97
Generic Scan Tool Code = P0460
DRB Scan Tool Display = Fuel Level Unit No Change Over Miles
Description of Diagnostic Trouble Code = No movement of fuel level sender detected.

P0460 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
The fuel level sensor is in the gas tank. Get a Haynes or Chilton Manual to see how to access the tank. You might get lucky and there will be access under the back seat. Otherwise, the gas tank has to come out to get access. The tank and fuel pump are an integrated assembly.

The P0460 code is set from a fuel circuit malfunction. This can be set by something as simple as the type of fuel you are using, if the sulfur content is too high, or if you refueled with the key on? Have the light reset and refill your tank with Chevron fuel,( Ford was recommending this at one time.), then drive the vehicle for two drive cycles and retest if no light is on. Two drive cycles are two complete warm ups with a six hour cool down between them.You need to reset the onboard monitors and drive cycles are the only way to do it. If the light comes back on and the code is the same, you will need a Ford dealer or a repair facility that is up on it's electrical testing. Hope this helps.
