Few probs/codes 98 contour se

[Tony25]

1st code is P0460 Fuel level senson circuit. I have no clue on this one.

2nd is P0171 system too lean bank1. I checked for a vacume leak and didnt see any. Im going to get some maf cleaner and replace the pcv.

3rd was abs/tcs no code

Also the light next to the check engine light flashes looks like a seatbelt/airbag. What could make that flash off and on? Never did this before

that's your airbag light flashing... believe it, or not, its showing you a code. Read the sequence of flashes.

flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash-LONG PAUSE would be an airbag code 23 (two flashes, a pause, and three flashes.

The long pause signifies where the code starts over.

What about the P0460 Fuel level sensor circuit? Where is the fuel sensor circuit?

 

[Tony25]

My light is like 4 times then a long pause. Ill watch the patern today.

Where is the fuel sensor circuit?

If you had to guess, where would you think the sensor that tells you your fuel level would be?

The sensor is in the fuel tank. The circuit would be the wiring from the sensor to the fuel gauge (or power).
