Fuel Level Sensor Signal InspectionNKS003UA
Symptom:

Fuel gauge indication is malfunction.

Low-fuel warning lamp indication is irregular.
NOTE:
The following symptoms are not malfunction.
Fuel level sensor unit

Depending on vehicle position or driving circumstance, the fuel level in the tank varies, and the pointer
may fluctuate.

If the vehicle is fueled with the ignition switch ON, the pointer will move slowly.
Low-fuel warning lamp

Depending on vehicle position or driving circumstance, the fuel in the tank flows and the warning lamp ON
timing may change.
Water temperature gauge pointer Reference value of data monitor °C (°F)
Hot Approx. 130 (266)
Middle Approx. 70 - 105 (158 - 221)
Cold Approx. 50 (122)

Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesNKS003UB
1. CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionNKS003UC
1. QUESTION 1
Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the characteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
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-26, "CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
