Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector. See Figure . Check continuity between ground and terminal No. 79 (Black/White wire) at PCM harness connector. See Figure . Continuity should exist. Also check circuit for short to voltage. If problem exist, repair as necessary and retest system. If problem does not exist, go to next step.
- Remove fuel pump assembly from fuel tank. Fuel pump assembly is under back seat, under access plate. Measure resistance between terminals No. 2 and 5 at fuel pump assembly connector (component side), with float rod in specified positions. See FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RESISTANCE table. See Figure . If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace fuel level sensor and retest system.
- No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See TESTING PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
