Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING-ENGINE OIL PRESSURE 

1. Remove the engine oil pressure sensor and install Oil Pressure Line and Gauge Tool C-3292 with a suitable adapter.
2. Start engine and warm to operating temperature.
3. Record engine oil pressure and compare with engine oil pressure chart.

CAUTION:  If engine oil pressure is zero at idle, DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE.

Engine Oil Pressure (MIN)
^

At Idle .....................................................................................................................................................................................  103.4 kPa (15 psi) 

^

At 2000 rpm ............................................................................................................................................................................  310.2 kPa (45 psi) 

If minimum engine oil pressure is below these ranges, Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING.

4. Remove oil pressure gauge and install the oil pressure sensor. Tighten the sensor to 16 Nm (144 inch lbs.) torque.
