I let my 2006 Nissan Frontier 4 door 6 speed manual get very low on gas. Since the gauge went so low when I fill up the gauge takes a long time to move..but it eventually does...My book says after several drives it will reset but it has not fixed itself yet. Also the service engine light is on...but i took it for an oil change at my local nissan dealership and they didnt even pay attention to it!!! the truck seems to be running great..still good gas mileage. i disconnected the battery..still no luck
The fuel level sending unit might be shot. mine went out and every time the gauge hit 1/4 tank the needle dropped. its a $80 part, simple to fix yourself if you are out of warranty otherwise they will try to nab i with a $280 bill that includes changing the fuel pump which is not required.
You must find out what code is involved with the SES light. It can help to find out if you have a problem or not. The "service engine soon" light means you have a problem with the emission system. It may or maynot have anything to do with the fuel gauge. If your fuel gauge is accurate, then it should be o/k.If your dealership will not help you , I suggest you find a shop that can help.Ask around and you will find someone to help.

take it to an auto parts store and have them check the code for free and get back with what it says.
