Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual: Fuel Level Sensor Signal Circuit

Component Function Check

Component Function Check

  1. COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL

    1. CONSULT

      1. Select “FUEL METER” in “Data Monitor” mode of “METER/M&A”.

      2. Compare the “FUEL METER” value and the fuel gauge reading of the combination meter. Fuel gauge and data monitor indications should be close.

    Does monitor value match fuel gauge reading?

    YES >>

    Inspection End.

    NO >>

    Replace combination meter. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Diagnosis Procedure

Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR

      1. Ignition switch OFF.

      2. Check combination meter and fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) terminals (meter-side and harness-side) for poor connection.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES >>

    GO TO 2.

    NO >>

    Repair or replace harness or connector.

  2. CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT CIRCUIT

      1. Disconnect combination meter harness connector and fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) harness connector.

      2. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector and fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) harness connector.
