OIL PRESSURE CHECK
Remove the right floor side cover (page 3-8).
If the engine is cold, the pressure reading will be
abnormally high. Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature before starting this test.
Stop the engine.
Slide the rubber cap off and disconnect the oil pres-
sure switch wire by removing the terminal screw.
Remove the oil pressure switch and connect an oil
pressure gauge attachment and gauge to the pres-
sure switch hole.
Check the oil level and add the recommended oil if
necessary (page 4-10).
Start the engine and check the oil pressure at 5,000
min
-1
(rpm).
Stop the engine.
Do not apply seal-
ant to the thread
head 3 – 4 mm (0.1
– 0.2 in).
Apply sealant (Three Bond 1207B or equivalent) to
the oil pressure switch threads as shown and
tighten it to the specified torque.
Connect the oil pressure switch wire and tighten the
terminal screw.
Install the rubber cap.
Start the engine.
Check that the oil pressure indicator turns off after 1
or 2 seconds. If the oil pressure indicator stays on,
stop the engine immediately and determine the
cause (page 22-15).
