Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
2004 Nissan-Datsun Sentra L4-2.5L (QR25DE)SECTION Description and Operation
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
Component Description

The fuel level sensor is mounted in the fuel level sensor unit. The sensor detects a fuel level in the fuel tank and transmits a signal to the "unified meter and A/C amp." The unified "meter and A/C amp." sends the fuel level sensor signal to the ECM through CAN communication line.
It consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other is variable resistor. Fuel level sensor output voltage changes depending on the movement of the fuel mechanical float.
