CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT
For removal, refer to FL-4, "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" .
Check Fuel Level Sensor Unit and Fuel Pump
Check resistance between terminals 2 and 5.
*1 and *2: When float rod is in contact with stopper.

If the results of check are NG, check the fuel level sensor unit
and fuel pump harness.
Check Fuel Level Sensor Unit and Pump Harness
Check continuity at following terminals.

If the results of check are NG, replace fuel pump assembly. If the
results of check are OK, replace fuel level sensor unit.

4. Install the fuel pressure gauge as shown in the figure.

Wipe off oil or dirt from hose insertion part using cloth moist-
ened with gasoline.

Apply proper amount of gasoline between top of the fuel tube
and No.1 spool.

Insert fuel hose for fuel pressure check until it touches the
No.1 spool on fuel tube.

Use NISSAN genuine hose clamp (part number: 16439
N4710 or 16439 40U00).

When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.

When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for
damage and abnormality.

Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.

Install hose clamp to the position within 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08
in).

Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent parts.
5. After connecting fuel hose for fuel pressure check, pull the hose
with a force of approximately 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) to confirm fuel
tube does not come off.
6. Turn ignition switch ON, and check for fuel leakage.
7. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
8. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.

Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operating. Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false
readings.

During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.
9. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
10. Check the following.

Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging

Fuel filter for clogging

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.Tightening

5. CHANGE ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Change engine oil.
NOTE:
This symptom may occur when a large amount of gasoline is mixed with engine oil because of driving
conditions (such as when engine oil temperature does not rise enough since a journey distance is too
short during winter). The symptom will not be detected after changing engine oil or changing driving con-
dition.

BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE

Fuel Pressure CheckBBS004Y5
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in “WORK SUPPORT”
mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:

Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.

Use Fuel Pressure check adapter (KV10117600) to check fuel pressure.
CAUTION:

Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel
pressure cannot be completely released because J31 models do not have fuel return system.

Use Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. EC-392, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Disconnect fuel damper from fuel tube and set fuel check
adapter (KV10117600).
3. Install the pressure gauge to fuel check adapter as shown in the
figure.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
5. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
6. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.

During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel
connection every 3 minutes.
7. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
8. Check the following.
