3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket (commercial
service tool).
4. Install oil pressure gauge and hose (special service tool).
5. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F)]
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
7. 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 Thread Sealant or equivalent.
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leaks of engine oil with running engine.

WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-
7, "ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.

Removal and InstallationEBS00KO8
WARNING:
Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil may be hot.
CAUTION:

When removing oil cooler and oil cooler bracket, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine oil
leakage or spillage.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to engine and vehicle.
REMOVAL
1. Remove RH front road wheel and tyre and RH undercover.
2. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug on cylinder block and radiator drain plug. Refer to EM-
89, "CYLINDER BLOCK" and CO-9, "Changing Engine Coolant" .
3. Disconnect water hoses from oil cooler.
4. Remove oil cooler and oil cooler bracket.
NOTE:
For reference when installing, put a mating mark on oil cooler and oil cooler bracket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through engine coolant inlet. If necessary,
replace oil cooler assembly.
Relief Valve
Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
valve by prying it out with a suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by tapping it.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level and the engine coolant level, and adjust engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to
LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL" and CO-9, "ENGINE COOLANT" .

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.

If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.

Oil pan (upper and lower)

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure switch

Oil filter bracket

Oil cooler

Oil pump housing

Va c u u m p u m p

Cylinder head rear cover assembly

Front and rear chain cases

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Be sure to check oil pressure in “ Neutral position” and parking brake should be applied securely.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-20, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove RH engine undercover.
3. Remove exhaust front tube. Refer to EX-2, "

LEVEL CHECK

Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within “MIN” to
“MAX” range when engine is cool.

Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
LEAK CHECK

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with
a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and a radiator
cap tester adapter (special service tool).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantEBS00KOH
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove RH and LH undercovers.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to
EM-94, "
ASSEMBLY" .
3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
