REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND INSPECTION
Refer to “ECT SENSOR” in Section 6E1.
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1) Disconnect oil pressure switch (1) lead wire.
2) Check for continuity between oil pressure switch terminal (2)
and cylinder block (3) as shown in figure.
If not, replace oil pressure switch (1).

NOTE:
When cleaning rear window glass, use a dry cloth to
wipe it along heat wire (1) direction.
When cleaning glass, do not use detergent or abra-
sive-containing glass cleaner.
When measuring wire voltage, use a tester with nega-
tive probe (2) wrapped with a tin foil (3) which should
be held down on wire by finger pressure.
