37 INSPECTION

37.1 Oil pump

Visually check the pump for rough rotation or other
defects. Replace the pump assembly if defective.

37.2 Oil pressure switch

1. Test for continuity between the terminal and body
with an ohmmeter as shown in the illustration. No
continuity is the cause for replacing the switch.
2. Insert a small diameter bar into the oil hole in the
switch and lightly push it in to test for no continuity
as shown in the illustration. Any continuity is the
cause for replacing the switch.
3. Apply a pressure air of 0.5 kgf/cm
to the switch through the oil hole to test for no
continuity. Any continuity is the cause for replacing
the switch. Also, check for air leaks. Any air leak
is an indication of a ruptured diaphragm. In such a
case, replace the switch.
