Oil pressure sensor

Repair Procedures

Removal

1. 1

   Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. 2

   Remove the generator.

   (See Engine Electrical System - "Alternator")

3. 3

   Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector (A), then remove the oil pressure switch (B).

   Tightening torque: 7.8–11.8 N·m

   

4. 4

   Install in the reverse order of removal.

   Sealant: THREEBOND 2403 Thickness: 0.2–0.4 mm (0.008–0.016 in.)

   

Inspection

1. 1

   Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity between the terminal and the body.

   If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure switch.

   

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   If there is no continuity when a pressure of 50 kPa (0.50 kgf/cm², 7.25 psi) is applied through the oil hole, the switch is operating correctly.

   Check for air leakage. If air leaks, the diaphragm is damaged. Replace it.
