P0461 Fuel Level Sensor Performance
 

I have a 2006 Chrysler T&C and the PCM was just replaced last year. Today we were driving it and the light came on but no noticeable issue. Checked it out and it gave this code. I see the bulletin came out back in 07 for this. Now, just drove it half a mile and it started stuttering so I turned around to get back home and now it wont run. Should I assume its the fuel pump? any help will be great!

more like u should have run out of gas

Left that part out, since the warning was about the fuel level sensor I put 2 gallons of gas in it and still nothing, thats why I am guessing its the fuel pump.

Do you hear the pump turn on for a second when you turn the key to on/run? Have you checked the pressure output? Have you verified the pump is getting power?

Thanks, I will check that this morning. I went out before checking this and now I'm getting the P0300 code along with the P0461 does this mean anything from your experiences?

I do hear the pump cut on when I turn the key on.

prime the pump by turning it on and off 3x

Thanks! yesterday when I was working on it i tried starting it about 4 times back to back, it would barely start and then just cut off like it was not getting gas. Would this have primed the pump or should I just not start it and let the pump cycle 3X by turning the key?

might not have enough gas for the main pump to pick it up put some more in

Thanks for all your help, well after about 7 times turning the switch on I guess it primed the pump and now it started. Its running fine so I put more gas in it. I cleared the code and its not back on yet. Now the question, what caused it. It showed I had a little less than 1/4 tank and no gas light on so could the codes have registered before the gas light? Just trying to find the cause.
