Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection
OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION [LF, L5]
WARNING:
-
Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.
-
A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work
around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.
-
Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water
immediately after working with engine oil.
1. Remove the battery cover. See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the aerodynamic under cover No.2. See: Body and Frame/Splash Guard/Service and Repair/Aerodynamic Under Cover No.2
Removal/Installation
4. Remove the oil pressure switch.
NOTE:
-
This inspection can be performed using a combination of SSTs 49 0187 280A (oil pressure gauge), 49 E019 001 (adapter) and 49 H019 002
(adapter), or using the following combination of the SSTs.
-
49 D019 908 (gauge), 49 D019 909 (hose), 49 D019 910 (adapter), 49 D019 911 (adapter), 49 D019 913 (adapter), and 49 D019 914 (adapter)
5. Install the SSTs to the oil pressure switch installation hole using the following procedure.
Using SSTs 49 0187 280A, 49 E019 001 and 49 H019 002
-
Assemble SSTs 49 0187 280A and 49 H019 002 outside of the engine compartment beforehand.
-
Install SST 49 E019 001 to the oil pressure switch installation hole.
-
Install SST 49 H019 002 to the SST 49 E019 001.
Using SSTs 49 D019 908, 49 D019 909, 49 D019 910, 49 D019 911, 49 D019 913, and 49 D019 914
-
Assemble SSTs 49 D019 910, 49 D019 913 and 49 D019 914 outside of the engine compartment beforehand.
-
Assemble SSTs 49 D019 908, 49 D019 909 and 49 D019 911 outside of the engine compartment beforehand.
-
Install SST 49 D019 914 to the oil pressure switch installation hole.
-
Install SST 49 D019 911 to the SST 49 D019 910.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
8. Run the engine at the specified speed, and note the gauge readings.
