SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
THE FUEL GAUGE INDICA TOR DOES NOT OPERATE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006221757
Fuel gauge will not indicate from a certain position.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006221758
1.CHECK COMBINATION METER OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect CONSULT-III.
2. Select the “Data Monitor” for the “METER/M&A” and compare the “FUEL METER” monitor value with the
fuel gauge reading on the combination meter. Refer to MWI-69, "
Component Function Check".
Does monitor value match fuel gauge reading?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "
Removal and Installation".
2.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check the fuel level sensor signal circuit. Refer to MWI-69, "
DiagnosisProcedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT
Perform a unit check for the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to MWI-70, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace fuel level sensor unit. Refer to FL-5, "
Removal and Installation".
4.CHECK FLOAT INTERFERENCE
Check that the float arm interferes with or binds to other components in the fuel tank.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "Removal and Installation".
NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
INFORMATION DISPLAY
INFORMATION DISPLAY : DescriptionINFOID:0000000006221775
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE
The displayed ambient air temperature on the information display may differ from the actual temperature
because it is a corrected value calculated from the ambi ent sensor signal by the combination meter. Refer to
MWI-20, "
INFORMATION DISPLAY : System Description" for details on the correction process.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY
The calculated distance to empty may differ from the actual distance to empty if the refueling amount is
approximately 15 (4 US gal, 3-1/4 Imp gal) or less. Th is is because the refuel control (moves the fuel gauge
needle quicker than normal judging that the driver is refueling the vehicle) is not performing.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000006225656
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000006225661
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-64, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
Inspection".
 Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm and front lower link. Refer to RSU-20, "
Ball Joint".
 Shock absorber operation
 Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of front lower link, rear lower link, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock absorber for
cracks, deformation, and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is recomm ended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that t he vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
 Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
- Your alignment equipment should be regularly calib rated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equi pment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-
ule.
ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.
 When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Never use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
- This may result in an ERROR.
 Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com- pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Never use this “Rolling Compensation” method.
- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installi ng the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-
cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
