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

Component Function Check

Component Function Check

COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL

CONSULT

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

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

Fuel gauge indication position	Reference value of data monitor [L]
1	Approx. 45.8
3/4	Approx. 35.4
1/2	Approx. 24.6
1/4	Approx. 12.4
0	Approx. 2.9

Does monitor value match fuel gauge reading?

YES>>

Inspection End.

NO>>

Replace combination meter. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Diagnosis Procedure

Diagnosis Procedure

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. 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.

CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT CIRCUIT

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

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

Combination meter		Fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor)		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
M24	35	B48	3	Yes

Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) harness connector and ground.

Fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor)		—	Continuity

GO TO 3.

NO >>

Repair or replace harness or connector.

CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

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

Combination meter		Fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor)		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
M24	36	B48	2	Yes

Check continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) harness connector and ground.

Fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor)		—	Continuity
Connector	Terminal	—	Continuity
B48	2	Ground	No

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

GO TO 4.

NO >>

Repair or replace harness or connector.

CHECK INSTALLATION CONDITION
1. Check fuel level sensor unit installation, and verify the float arm does not interfere or bind with the internal components in the fuel tank.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >>
Inspection End.
NO >>
Install the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (fuel level sensor) properly. Refer to Removal and Installation.
