Default Fuel Level Sensor

My check engine light is on, in my 2012 F-150 XLT 3.7L V6 checked with my scan tool and it says. fuel Level Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance. My fuel gauge seems to be working fine. Cleared the code and it came back a couple of days later.

Alton Beckwith...
Google results... *Actual DTC not provided, however...

P0461 possible causes:
  • faulty fuel level sensor
  • fuel level sensor harness is open or shorted
  • fuel level sensor circuit poor electrical connection
TIP: When posting if the -actual- DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is known, provide it.
