Fuel gauge doesn’t move after installing subs

Hey everyone! So I have a 2013 Malibu ls(2.5lt engine) and recently installed a sub box. After the install I noticed the service airbag lights comes on and the fuel gauge doesn’t move. The fuses seem ok though I only noticed 1 for the fuel gauge. When I move the key to “ON”, it will move the needle up and down smoothly, just not when the engine is started. The lcd screen also just constantly says low fuel. I know the fuel pump module needs to be replaced but it only started happening after the install. Any advice?

I pulled the engine codes if they help
PO57D
PO463
PO453
PO69E
Engine-codes.com is a good resource.
You need the U codes to be read also, those are communication failure codes that indicate issues in the onboard data stream and help with diagnosis.
A 4 code families need to be read not just the P codes.

Sorry for late reply! Is this what you’re needing? These are the current codes I just pulled, I have photos of the obd2 scanner too if those would be more help
P057D: Brake Pedal Position Sensor Circuit High Voltage

P0453:Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage

P0463: Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit High Input

P0461:Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

No, he asked for the U codes, which are stored differently. You are posting P codes.

Could these be what you're referring to? sorry no one has ever asked about any other codes so I'm learning how to get the other codes.
U0101-00: Lost communication with transmission control module
U0422-71: Invalid data received from body control module - Invalid data
only two ones I pulled.
Cleaning the module connectors would be my first action with a electrical contact cleaner.
