Had the ECM replaced under recall on my 05 Frontier on Feb 21. Immediately started noticing strange readings from the gas gauge. On a fill up a day or so after getting it replaced, the needle didn't go all the way full until I had driven about 20 miles.

This morning, I had an 1/8 of a tank, so I filled it up. The gauge is still reading 1/4 tank, and the service engine soon light is on. I'm waiting on the dealer to call me back, but the service manager didn't think it had to do with the ECM.

Coincidence or did they mess up the electronics???

The ECM or just the relay??? There is also a concern with
the fuel sending units that has nothing to do with the
previous repair.

I'm scheduling to have the fuel sending unit replaced. This occurred immediately after they replaced the ECM (not sure if it was the relay, whatever the recall covered), so I was just wondering if something could have messed up the electronics (can you tell I'm not mechanically inclined?)
