6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the collector cover.
2) Remove the oil pressure switch from engine cyl-
inder block. <Ref. to LU(H4DOTC)-17, REMOVAL,
Oil Pressure Switch.>
3) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
4) Connect the ground cable to battery.
5) Start the engine, and measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure:
Standard (At 600 rpm)
2
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
Standard (At 6,000 rpm)
588 kPa (6.0 kgf/cm
CAUTION:
• If the oil pressure is out of standard, check
the oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line. <Ref.
to LU(H4DOTC)-20, INSPECTION, Engine Lubri-
cation System Trouble in General.>
• If the oil pressure warning light comes ON
though the oil pressure is within standard, re-
place the oil pressure switch. <Ref. to
LU(H4DOTC)-20, INSPECTION, Engine Lubrica-
tion System Trouble in General.>
NOTE:
The standard is based on an engine oil tempera-
ture of 80°C (176°F).
6) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. <Ref. to LU(H4DOTC)-17, IN-
STALLATION, Oil Pressure Switch.>
