| Description of the problem | [fuel level sensor] service engine light went on august 10, 2008, two codes p0463(fuel level sensor) and p0420(catalytic efficiency low). Shortly after this; when filling-up the fuel gauge would read "e" after some time it would read correctly. This problem is intermittent. The service engine light has been on since then and i've had other issues with the vehicle. This jan. 27,2009 i went to the dealer to fix the cat., and cancel the service engine light, but the dealer had a hard time link-up with the computer because of some short in the system caused by the rear view mirror(compass). They said the code for the bad cat. Was complete and not the problem, they said the computer came up with a p0507(idle speed control motor). The code p0463 did not come up. As soon as i left the dealer i filled the fuel tank. And now the gauge went to "e" and fuel light is on the dte reads ----, and the service engine light is on (i called the dealer right away and told of the problem). It's been like this for 3-days in a row. I have to bring it back to the dealer. |
