Oil Pressure Sensor (OPS) Repair Procedures

Inspection

1. 1
   Turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Disconnect the OPS connector.
3. 3
   Remove the OPS (Refer to Removal).
4. 4
   After immersing the sensor thermistor in engine coolant, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the OPS.
5. 5
   Make sure the resistance is within specification.

   Specification: Refer to "Specifications"

Removal

1. 1
   Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2. 2
   Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - Intake and Exhaust System)
3. 3
   Remove the delivery pipe and injector. (Refer to Fuel Delivery System - Delivery Pipe)
4. 4
   Disconnect the connector (A) and remove the CVVT oil temperature sensor (B).

   

   When removing and installing the oil temperature sensor, use a deep socket as shown in the illustration below. 3/8 in. (24 mm) thin-wall deep socket with a length of less than 75 mm. [Oil Temperature Sensor Removal Tool Arrangement] 24 mm deep socket1/2 in. to 3/8 in. adapter (only when using a 1/2 in. deep socket)3/8 in. universal joint3/8 in. extensionSocket wrench [Tool Installation Sequence] Insert the 24 mm (0.94 in.) socket (A) onto the oil temperature sensor. After connecting the other tools as shown in the illustration above, insert the tools (A) into the socket.

Installation

Install the component with the specified torque. Be careful not to drop the component, as internal damage may occur. If dropped, inspect it before installation.

Apply sealant (LOCTITE FED546 or equivalent) to the sensor.

Insert the sensor into the mounting hole, taking care not to damage it during installation.

1. To install, reverse the removal procedure. Oil pressure sensor installation: 14.7 - 22 N·m
