Engine Oil Pressure

1. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and set an oil pressure
tester (Code No.: 07916-32032). (Adaptor screw size : PT 1/8)
2. Start the engine. After warming up, measure the oil pressure of
both idling and rated speeds.
3. If the oil pressure is less than the allowable limit, check the
following.
• Engine oil insufficient.
• Oil pump defective
• Oil strainer clogged
• Oil filter cartridge clogged
• Oil gallery clogged
• Excessive oil clearance
• Foreign matter in the relief valve

Fan Belt Tension

1. Measure the deflection (A), depressing the belt halfway between
the fan drive pulley and alternator pulley at specified force 98 N
(10 kgf, 22 lbf).
2. If the measurement is not within the factory specifications, loosen
the alternator mounting screws and relocate the alternator to

adjust.
