| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge stopped working a while ago, and the service engine light came on and stayed on. The gauge would show 1/4 tank fuel after filling the tank up, then work normal, then drop to empty, even though the tank was at least 1/2 full. I would keep track of how many miles i drove and fill up the tank every 300 miles. That's how i knew it was time to get gas again... Today i found out that problem is not only a nuisance for me, but it is also connected to our state emission inspection. When i had the inspection done today, id did not pass the "on-board diagnostic (obdii) test, which is one of the state requirements. Resulting failure code for the obdii test was p0463-fuel level sensor "a" circuit high. My understanding is this very same/similar defect affected many of 2006 and 2008 pathfinders, and resulted in a recall of those vehicles. Based on the many complains on this site, it is evident it affects many 2007 pathfinders as well. Since it does affect emission requirements, please further investigate so the problem can be fixed. |
