Oil Pressure Check
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
- Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
- For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in " Park position" (CVT models) or "Neutral position" (M/T models), and apply the parking brake securely.
- Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.
- Oil pan (lower) (2)
- <= Front
- Install oil pressure gauge and hose.
Tool number : ST25051001 (J-25695-1)
: ST25052000 (J-25695-2)
- Check engine oil level. Refer to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL ".
- Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
- Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.NOTE: When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F)]
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE REFERENCEEngine speed rpm Approximate discharge pressure kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi) Idle speed More than 60 (0.60, 0.61, 9) 2,000 More than 200 (2.0, 2.0, 29) If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
- After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
- Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
- Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS ".
Oil pressure switch : 14.7 N.m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
- Check engine oil level. Refer to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL ".
- After warming up engine, make sure there are no engine leaks of oil with running engine.
