What does this fault code mean?
Although the code is named for a transfer fuel pump, it concerns the fuel level sensor in the tank. The instrument has noticed that the fuel gauge level does not change during a longer drive, and the code is then set. The cause is that the sensor has jammed, and the gauge may then show a value that is too high or too low.
Possible causes
- Fuel level sensor has jammed
What you can do

- 4If the fault remains, have a workshop check the fuel level sensor in the tank
