Yes. The fault can be having more than one possible antecedent:

"Mike and Bill were on the way to his father's store." (whose father?)

"Mike was walking his dog when he decided to chase a cat."

It can also result from a difference in case with the antecedent.

"The doctor's hand was injured, so he couldn't operate."

A faulty reference occurs when the pronoun in a sentence does not have a clear and unmistakable antecedent, causing confusion for the reader about which noun the pronoun is referring to. This can lead to ambiguous or unclear communication.
