P2066 — Fuel level sensor B is not working properly
The code indicates a problem with the second fuel level sensor in the tank. It means the sensor's readings are inconsistent or out of expected range, causing the engine control unit to flag it. This sensor helps the car accurately measure fuel level, so issues can affect fuel gauge accuracy or trigger warning lights.
Common causes
The cause is almost always one of a few things. Here they are — P2066 rarely comes from anything outside this list:
- Faulty or damaged fuel level sensor B
- Wiring issues or poor electrical connections
- Corroded or dirty sensor contacts
- Fuel tank contamination or debris
- Faulty fuel pump module housing the sensor
Where to start
In the order a sensible mechanic would work — the cheap checks first, the expensive replacements only after:
- Check and clean sensor electrical connections
- Inspect wiring harness for damage or corrosion
- Test sensor resistance and signal output
- Replace faulty fuel level sensor B if needed
- Replace fuel pump module if sensor is integrated
That is what holds for P2066 in general. From here it depends on your engine — tell me which car it is and what it does, and I will give you the steps for it: real procedures, torque figures and diagrams instead of general advice.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
The same code can mean different things on different makes. Match the meaning to your make before acting on it.
