Oil Pressure Switch - Toro GroundsmasterR 4300-D Service Manual

Oil Pressure Switch

The engine oil pressure switch is located on the engine
near the oil filter (Fig.52). The oil pressure switch is a
normally closed switch that opens with pressure.
The oil pressure switch should open at approximately 8
PSI (0.56 kg/cm ).

The TEC controller monitors the operation of the oil
pressure switch. The switch and its circuit wiring should
be tested as a controller input with the Diagnostic Dis-
play (see Special Tools and Troubleshooting in this
chapter).
If low engine oil pressure allowed the oil pressure switch
to close during engine operation, the Diagnostic light
can be used to identify the fault (see Diagnostic Light in
the Troubleshooting section of this chapter).
Testing
NOTE: Refer to Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel En-
gine, 05--E3B Series at the end of Chapter 3 -- Kubota
Diesel Engine for information regarding engine lubrica-
tion system and testing.

3. Locate oil pressure switch on engine and disconnect
the wire harness connector from the switch.
4. With the ignition switch in the RUN position, ground
the disconnected wire to the engine block.
5. If the indicator light comes on, the oil pressure switch
is faulty.
6. If the indicator light does not come on after step 5,
check the oil pressure indicator light and circuit wiring
(see Indicator Lights in this section).
7. After testing is completed, connect the wire harness
connector to the oil pressure switch. Lower and secure
