Hey All,
Can/Will a bad fuel sending unit trigger a check engine light?
Thx!

The one in particular is a 2001 Passport...but is there a difference?

head to autozone and have the codes read for free.

Just had mine replaced a few days ago. I had some work done a few months back and the mechanic told me it was flagging a code, but I ignored it until recently, because I have to get my emissions test done. It did flag the CEL, and my gas gauge was all over the place. Works like a champ now. Luckily it was covered under the Carmaxx warranty I bought along with the truck, otherwise it would have cost around $500.

My 2001 3.2l V6 2wd Rodeo had the same symptoms and CEL on. I have 61,000 miles and am the original owner so it was covered under warranty. My Isuzu dealership replaced the sending unit and the fuel pump. It would have been $520 had it not been covered.

Yep. Code P0463 (and likely the gauge will be erratic as well)
