2002 Ford Ranger Error Code - Fuel Sending Unit

[Truckdriver]

Hey everyone, I want to see if anyone on here has an idea what the issue may be with my truck. It is a 2002 XTL 4.0 V6. My entire "Fuel Pump Module Assembly" was replaced about 18 months ago because it was determined that a sensor in the sending unit was bad and the truck wouldn't pass inspection. The symptoms were a fuel gauge pinned to full and the check engine light on with a code reading "P0460 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit".

Now here I am with the same exact issue. Fuel gauge pinned to full and the same error code. Is it possible the sensor went bad already? Could my mechanic have messed something up? Any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. Thanks!

"circuit" does not mean the sensor is specifically bad. It means something is simply wrong between the gauge, pcm, sensor, and tank. A shorted wire, shorted gauge, a dented tank. Components need to be tested before being replaced or you're not actually fixing anything.

I am interested in buying it, do you still sell it? I don't need it as much for work as just to see older models of automotive diagnostic hardware. I already have a Thinkdiag, it's a good automotive diagnostic hardware, that works very good, it's my main equipment, but sometimes I have to repair an old car and here appears the problem that it can't be used in cars older than 1995 because it can't read them. This is why I am interested in your diagnostic system.
