Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to Full-position

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK POINTER MOVEMENT TO FULL-POSITION 

    Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to full-position?

    YES or NO

    • YES: GO TO 2.
    • NO: GO TO  3.
  2. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH POSITION 

    Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?

    YES or NO

    • YES: Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time for the pointer to move to full-position because of the characteristic of the fuel gauge.
    • NO: GO TO 3.
  3. OBSERVE VEHICLE POSITION 

    Is the vehicle parked on an incline?

    YES or NO

    • YES: Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
    • NO: GO TO 4.
  4. CHECK POINTER MOVEMENT TO EMPTY-POSITION 

    During driving, does the fuel gauge move gradually toward empty-position?

    YES or NO

    • YES: Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT CHECK ".
    • NO: Check fuel level sensor unit installation, and determine whether the float arm interferes or binds with any of the internal components in the fuel tank.
