      • LOW ENGINE OIL
      • INCORRECT OIL FILTER THAT DOES NOT MEET OEM SPECIFICATIONS
      • OIL DIRTY OR DETERIORATED (Lack of scheduled oil changes)

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Correct level/change engine oil and filter as required, consult the Service Information for correct type and grade of engine oil and repeat test.
  4. CHECK OIL PRESSURE / ENGINE MECHANICAL 
    1. Remove the Oil Pressure Switch and install a mechanical oil pressure gauge.
    2. Crank the engine for at least 10 seconds and check the oil pressure at the Oil Pressure Switch location.

      Is the oil pressure between 0.8 bar (11.6 psi) and 7.5 bar (108.8 psi)?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Variable Valve Actuator Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to ASSEMBLY, VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATION, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
