Could be radiator fan or thermostat

Forenza 2004 this is a Suzuki, id sell it, and is not even real Suzuki its a badged product. actual. Daewoo Lacetti Daewoo can't sell cars here so suzuki tries and fails... amazing car. p0217 means overheated. and when overheated power is lost. stop that or burn up the engine. do the service on engine, 60,000 miles. steps. and a new thermostat. i bet yours is 10 years old,,huh and END of life. non last over that. id sell it. when fixed, Suzuki's are no good. FSM data. Trouble Code Conditions: Engine is running. Engine coolant temperature is higher than 50 Deg C (122 deg F). Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is higher than 35 deg C (95 deg F). Engine soak time is higher than 360 minutes, or start-up coolant temperature is less than 45 deg C (113 deg F). Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor reading is greater than 107 deg C (224.6 deg F). Possible Causes:

• Sensor ECT
• Circuit
• ECM

the fsm skips bad thermostat. odd that... huh"? and dead cooling fans. and clogged radiator. etc. the first step is to see if it really is overheated, with a IR pyro gun. if not, the ECT is bad if is overheated, then fix that, as the ECT didnt lie. simple , the sensor lied, (nah) or did overheat. or air pockets at the ECT, low coolant actual.

same as the old. list it? take it to any autostore, and tell him, can you match this. or buy one new at Suzuki (chapter 11, sure ,hard to find...) id sell it.. its really a half backed, Daewoo. car... hopeless... wonder.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0463 Means that the engine computer detects a continuous short to low or an open in the fuel level sensor circuit. This can be a problem with the wires going to the fuel level sensor or (most likely) the fuel level sensor itself.

Fortunately, your vehicle has an access panel under the rear seat to access the fuel pump and fuel level sensor. The circuits can be tested WITHOUT having to remove the fuel tank from the vehicle. (See Pictures)

Most companies recommend replacement at or before 80,000 miles. It is an interference engine which means the valves can be damaged if the belt breaks while the engine is running.
