SERVICE INFORMATION
 
If an applied 1998-99 Maxima has either a fuel gauge that does not read full after refueling or the low fuel warning light goes on prematurely (with over
1/4 tank of fuel), the cause may be the fuel level sender unit.
 
A new fuel level sender unit is now available to correct both of the above conditions, if they should occur.
 
Use the procedures below to confirm that either of the above conditions exist.  Once confirmed, remove and replace the fuel level sender unit using the
following procedure.
