P0461 - Fuel Level Sensor 1 Performance

[wayoflife]

On our way home from SEMA, BANDIT had his check engine light come on and the DTC for it was "P0461 - Fuel Level Sensor 1 Performance". Granted, we were hitting a headwind and we weren't getting the best MPG in the world but I feel like we've been in similar situations or worse and have never seen this before. Any of you ever get a P0461 code before?

Either way, we're still under warranty and while this may be a whole lot of nothing, I think we'll take him into the dealership and create a paper trail, just in case.

I haven’t had any experience with this code. A quick search found this link-

Yeah, I looked up the code too. That's why I mentioned the headwind we were hitting. For the amount of fuel we started with, we should have been able to cover a lot more miles but weren't able to and so I was thinking that might be the reason for it. I'd like to think it's not a sending unit issue especially on a Jeep that is still so new.

Again, I have no experience with this code. That said, I would look at the sensor and wiring first.

Heh! I’m not used to having a warranty. That’s why my default is to troubleshoot the problem myself

The ex had this on her Cadillac, they had to replace the fuel pump; in her case, both fuel pumps because Cadillac decided a more fucked up fuel system was required to feed all that power
