Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
-
Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
-
When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be "Parking position", and apply parking brake securely.
1. Check engine oil level. See: Engine Oil/Service and Repair/Inspection.
2. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Never drop or shock oil pressure switch.
3. Install oil pressure gauge [SST: ST25051001 (J-25695-1)] (A) and hose [SST: ST25052000 (J-25695-2)] (B).
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure : See: Specifications
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leakage.
6. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification.
Use Genuine RTV Silicon Sealant or equivalent. See: Specifications/Fluid Type Specifications.
Tightening torque : See: Cylinder Block Assembly/Service and Repair/Exploded View
c. Check engine oil level. See: Engine Oil/Service and Repair/Inspection.
d. After warming up engine, check that there is no leakage of engine oil with running engine.
