4. QUESTION 4
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-24, "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
Odo/Trip Meter and Illumination Control Switch InspectionNKS002ZT
Symptom: Illumination control does not operate.
1. CHECK ODO/TRIP METER AND ILLUMINATION CONTROL SWITCH
1. Remove odo/trip meter and illumination control switch. Refer to DI-27, "
Removal and Installation of Odo/
Trip Meter and Illumination Control Switch" .
2. Check continuity odo/trip meter and illumination control switch. Refer to DI-24, "
ODO/TRIP METER AND
ILLUMINATION CONTROL SWITCH" .
OK or NG
OK >> Replace combination meter.
NG >> Replace odo/trip meter and illumination control switch.
Electrical Components InspectionNKS002ZW
ODO/TRIP METER AND ILLUMINATION CONTROL SWITCH
Check continuity between terminals 25, 26, 35 or 36 and 27.
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT
For removal, refer to FL-4, "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" .
Fuel Level Sensor Unit and Fuel Pump (Main)
Check the resistance between terminals 2 and 5.
*1 and *2: When float rod is in contact with stopper.

If the results of check are NG, check the fuel level sensor unit
and fuel pump (main) harness. Refer to DI-25, "
Fuel Level Sen-
sor Unit and Pump (Main) Harness" .

Without CONSULT-II
1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
NOTE:

Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel
pressure cannot be completely released because S50 models do not have fuel return system.

Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit (J-44321) to check fuel pressure.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to EC-86, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Install the inline fuel quick disconnected fitting between fuel damper and fuel injector tube.
3. Connect the fuel pressure test gauge (quick connector adapter hose) to the inline fuel quick disconnected fitting.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
5. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
6. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
7. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
8. Check the following.

Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging

Fuel filter for clogging

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
5. CHANGE ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Change engine oil. NOTE:
This symptom may occur when a large amount of gasoline is mixed with engine oil because of driving
conditions (such as when engine oil temperature does not rise enough since a journey distance is too
short during winter). The symptom will not be detected after changing engine oil or changing driving con-
dition.
>> INSPECTION END
6. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
Check fuel pressure. (Refer to EC-86, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .)
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 9.
NG (Fuel pressure is too high)>>Replace fuel pressure regulator, refer to EC-86, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
GO TO 8.
NG (Fuel pressure is too low)>>GO TO 7.
7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
1. Check the following.
–Clogged and bent fuel hose and fuel tube
–Clogged fuel filter
–Fuel pump and its circuit (Refer to EC-635, "FUEL PUMP" .)
2. If NG, repair or replace the malfunctioning part. (Refer to EC-86, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .)
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
>> GO TO 8.
8. CHECK “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2”
1. Start engine.
2. Select “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2” in “DATA MONITOR (SPEC)” mode, and make sure that the each indication is within the SP value.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 9.
9. PERFORM POWER BALANCE TEST
1. Perform “POWER BALANCE” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode.
2. Make sure that the each cylinder produces a momentary engine speed drop.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> GO TO 10.
