Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or Varies

NKS003UB

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 Position

NKS003UC

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.
