Hi All,
I am at lost here. My initial issue is the fuel gauge is showing half tank while tank is full, and when I checked the OBD code it was P0462, so thought fuel pump (aka sending unit) went bad.
I have replaced the entire fuel pump twice. And then after more research people were saying that it could be the instrument cluster because it's a known issue for 2006 Altima's. So I bought a used one (close in mileage) and replaced it today, and it's the same issue. Checked fuel pump connector and all looks good. Checked voltage between the blue/green and ground and it's 11.4v DC while key is in ON (engine not started), and then if I jumper it to ground the fuel gauge is rising to full fine. Both black wire of fuel pump connector has solid ground as well. I have checked the original Nissan fuel pump resistance while floater is up and down and it's perfectly within range, so I thought it's not the fuel pump issue and so I went with cluster replacement.
When I put in the new (used one) cluster and checked the OBD code, I saw three codes: P0183, P0462 and P0463. I was able to clear all except code P0462.
I am totally at a loss. Please help!
Thanks!
