• If the engine oil is milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair the broken
parts.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following areas:
•Oil pan
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Oil cooler
• Intake valve timing control cover
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seal (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as engine oil may be hot.
• Put the selector lever in the Park “P” position.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to MA-20, "
ENGINE OIL : Inspection".
2. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Disconnect the oil pressure switch harness connector.
4. Remove the oil pressure switch (A).
5. Install Tools.
6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80 °C (175 °F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
CAUTION:
If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.

COMBINATION METER
• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-
sure gauge, voltage gauge and information display are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is
built into the combination meter.
• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.* *The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
