*: There is resistance because this circuit is grounded through
the bulb.
If circuit is as specified, replace the relay.
If circuit is not as specified, wiring diagram and inspect the cir-
cuits connected to other parts.
25. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Run the engine.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up approximatery 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.

26. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING SENSOR
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminals with the
switch to below 40 °C (104 °F). (Warning switch ON)
(b) Heat the switch to above 60 °C (140 °F) in an oil bath.
(c) Check that there is continuity between terminals with the
switch ON (float up).
(d) Check that there is no continuity between terminals with
the switch OFF (float down).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
27. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING SENSOR
CIRCUIT
Disconnect the switch connector and inspect the connector on
wire harness side, as shown.
Tester connectionConditionSpecified condition
2 ± GroundConstantContinuity
If continuity is not as specified, inspect the wire harness or
ground point.
28. INSPECT OPEN DOOR WARNING LIGHT
Disconnect the connector from the door courtesy switch and
ground terminal 1 on the wire harness side, and check that the
warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect the bulb or wire har-
ness.

DISASSEMBLY
1. PLACE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER IN VISE
Using SST, set the hydraulic brake booster in vise.
SST 09630±00014 (09631±00142),
09950±60010 (09951±00180, 09951±00190)
2. REMOVE RESERVOIR AND GROMMETS
(a) Remove the reservoir cap.
(b) Remove the 3 set screws and pull out the reservoir.
Torque: 1.7 N´m (17.5 kgf´cm, 15.2 in.´lbf)
(c) Remove the 3 grommets.
3. REMOVE CYLINDER BOOT
4. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Using 30 mm deeper socket wrench and remove the oil pres-
sure sensor, spacer and O±ring.
Torque: 81 N´m (830 kgf´cm, 60 ft´lbf)
5. REMOVE PISTONS
(a) Pressing the piston in with a screwdriver, use a pin or an
equivalent to push the snap ring from the hole in the body
then remove it with another screwdriver.
(b) Remove the No. 1 and No. 2 piston, pulling straight out,
not at an angle.
NOTICE:
If pulled out and installed at an angle, there is a possi-
bility that the cylinder bore could be damaged.
At the time of reassembly, be careful not to damage
the rubber lips on the pistons.
