ISSUE
Some 2005 Excursion, 2005-2006 E-Series built before 6/12/2006, and 2005-2006 F-Super Duty vehicles built before 3/15/2006, equipped with a 6.0L
diesel engine may exhibit the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0460 (Fuel Level Sensor A circuit).
ACTION
P0460 can be caused by several factors. Follow the Service Procedure to determine the correct repair.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
P0460 can be caused by the installation of aftermarket equipment such as remote starter systems and auxiliary fuel tanks.
a.
Ford offers a remote starter system which is recommended. If the vehicle has an aftermarket remote starter system, it would need to be
removed / disabled before diagnostics for P0460 can be started.
b.
Auxiliary fuel tanks that continuously replenish the vehicles main tank will cause a P0460. Customers that replenish the vehicles fuel tank
from the auxiliary fuel tank while the key is on and engine is running, can set P0460. For vehicles with an auxiliary fuel tank, it is
recommended not to use the gravity / continuous fill style auxiliary fuel tanks. It is recommended to add fuel to the vehicles main tank with
the key off.
NOTE
P0460 CAUSED BY AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT/VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
2.
If there are no aftermarket equipment installed causing the P0460, perform PC/ED Pinpoint test QH and Workshop Manual (WSM), Section
413-01 Pinpoint Test B as directed. If no issues are identified per the procedure, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest
calibration using IDS release B43.4 and higher. This calibration contains a revised strategy to eliminate the occurrence of a false P0460.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
