- Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between the terminal and the body. If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure sensor.

- Check the continuity between the terminal and the body while gently pushing the thin wire. If there is continuity even when the thin wire is pressed, replace the switch.
- If there is no continuity when 50 kPa (0.50 kgf/cm², 7.25 psi) of pressure is applied through the oil hole, the switch is operating correctly. Check for air leakage. If air leaks, the diaphragm is damaged. Replace the switch.
