ASSEMBLY
1. Check for damage of fuel level sensor unit installation position on the side of fuel filter and fuel pump
assembly.
2. Slide fuel level sensor unit until it aligns to installation groove, then insert it until it stops.
After inserting, apply force in reverse direction (removal direction) to ensure it cannot be pulled out.
3. Connect the black (A) and white (B) harnesses so that they are
in the positions shown in the figure.
Securely insert harness connector until it stops.

sion, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
