Oil Pressure Indicator Lamp

A red indicator lamp glows when the oil pressure is below a prescribed value. The lamp should come on when the ignition switch is first turned to the RUN position. The indicator lamp should go out within a few seconds after the engine starts, indicating that the oil pressure is OK.

The lamp is connected between the oil pressure switch unit, which is mounted on the engine, and the coil terminal of the ignition switch.
