| Description of the problem | 1) nothing in particular leading up to my failure, normal driving until i reached 1/4 tank of gas. From some online research, i believe it is a defective part that nissan is ignoring. The corresponding nissan error code is 0463. 2) when / if i drive my vehicle down to 1/4 tank of gas, the service engine light goes on. It is the fuel level sensor. If i fill my tank and drive a while it will go off. If i fuel up before i reach 1/4 tank the light will not go on. This will happen every time. 3) through advice from a nissan master tech, i now fill up before i reach 1/4 tank. He says that i am not hurting my vehicle in any way. To fix the merely annoying issue, i would have to pay around $600. |
