Code P0461 Jeep Description

The Fuel Level Sensor is mounted in the Fuel Level Sensor unit. The sensor detects a fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The Fuel Level Sensor consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other side is a variable resistor.
