should be logged by noting the amount and date. Any oil that is added due to oil loss that is not
related to service will eventually return to the sump. It must be removed when the level is high.
A 1200-watt oil heater is controlled by the PIC to maintain oil temperature (see the
section) when the compressor is off. The LID Status02 table displays whether the heater is
energized or not. If the PIC shows that the heater is energized, but the sump is not heating up,
the power to the oil heater may be off or the oil level may be too low. Check the oil level, the oil
heater contactor voltage, and oil heater resistance.
The PIC will not permit compressor start-up if the oil temperature is too low. The control will
continue with start-up only after the temperature is within limits.
