What it means

P2C51 means Fuel Level Sensor A/B Correlation.

Where it lives

For P2C51, start at the sensor the description names.

Check these first

  • A fuel level sensor A that disagrees with sensor B
  • A sticking float on one fuel level sensor
  • Wiring resistance skewing one fuel level signal
  • A fuel tank sending unit with a worn contact track

What to do next

  1. Read fuel level sensor A and B on a scan tool
  2. Compare both sensors through a full tank sweep
  3. Test each fuel level signal circuit for added resistance
  4. Inspect the tank sending units for a sticking float
  5. Replace the faulty fuel level sensor if the readings stay split
  6. Clear the code and retest
