P2C51: Fuel Level Sensor A/B Correlation

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Cxx codes

What does P2C51 mean?

The signals of fuel level sensors A and B do not correlate within the calibrated tolerance. Common in saddle tanks where two sensors monitor each tank half.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High One float stuck on guide rod
  • Medium Saddle tank transfer pump failed

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
