- Located in the gas tank
- Provides fuel level readings
- Can provide inaccurate fuel level readings when damaged
The Fuel Level Sensor is located inside your gas tank. It's meant to provide an exact fuel level reading so you're aware when you have a full tank and when you need to fill up.
A malfunctioning Fuel Level Sensor can cause one main issue, disturbing the readings on your fuel gauge. When this takes place, you will be unable to tell if you're low on gas. And not knowing your actual fuel levels can put your passengers, you, and your Nissan Maxima at risk of getting stranded along the side of the road.
If your Fuel Level Sensor fails, the fuel gauge on your dashboard may start to behave erratically — full one moment and empty the next. In some cases, it may even show that your tank is always full or always empty. These issues can be caused by a bad Fuel Level Sensor. Your sensor may send incorrect signals or fail to communicate completely with the parts that regulate the gauge.
If your fuel gauge is giving you inaccurate readings or readings that are all over the place, it may be time to replace your Fuel Level Sensor. When getting a new one, it's important that you select one for your specific Nissan. Otherwise, you could continue to deal with similar problems if the new Fuel Level Sensor is unable to send the right signals to the gauge.
