OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Neutral position” (M/T models) or “Parking position” (A/T
models).
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-6, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure sensor, and
remove oil pressure sensor using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure sensor.
4. Install the oil pressure gauge (SST) and hose (SST).
5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80 °C (176 °F)]
kPa (kg/cm2 , psi)
If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure sensor as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil presser sensor and the mating surface.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure sensor to the specification.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with running engine.
