P2068

Moderate

Fuel Level Sensor "B" Circuit High

What Does P2068 Mean?

The fuel level sensor B circuit is reading a voltage higher than the expected maximum threshold. This indicates either a wiring fault causing high voltage or a failed fuel level sensor sending unit.

Common Causes

35%

Open circuit in fuel level sensor B wiring harness or connector

Wiring Harness
Fuel Tank Connector

30%

Faulty fuel level sensor B sending unit stuck at high resistance position

Fuel Level Sensor B
Fuel Pump Module

20%

Corroded or damaged fuel pump module connector pins

Fuel Pump Connector
Connector Pins

10%

Short to voltage in sensor circuit wiring

Wiring Harness

5%

PCM internal fault in fuel level input circuit

Powertrain Control Module

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect fuel tank connector for corrosion, damage, or loose connections and repair as needed

2

Step 2: Backprobe fuel level sensor B circuit and measure voltage with key on, engine off (should be within 0.5-4.5V range)

3

Step 3: Drop fuel tank and access fuel pump module, inspect sensor B float arm for binding or damage

4

Step 4: Test fuel level sensor B resistance across full range of motion (should vary smoothly from ~10-180 ohms)

5

Step 5: If sensor tests good, check wiring harness for opens or shorts to voltage between tank and PCM

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $650

Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2068 mean?

The fuel level sensor B circuit is reading a voltage higher than the expected maximum threshold. This indicates either a wiring fault causing high voltage or a failed fuel level sensor sending unit.

What causes P2068?

The most common cause of P2068 (Fuel Level Sensor "B" Circuit High) is: Open circuit in fuel level sensor B wiring harness or connector

How much does it cost to fix P2068?

Typical repair costs for P2068 range from $150 to $650, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2068?

Vehicle remains safe to drive but fuel gauge may read incorrectly, potentially causing driver to run out of fuel unexpectedly.

How do I diagnose P2068?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2068 to identify the root cause.
