Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load. Refer to "OIL PRESSURE ".
NOTE: When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.

If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
After the inspections, install oil pressure sensor as follows:
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure sensor and engine.
2. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure sensor to specification.
  Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND SEALANT ".
  
  Oil pressure sensor : 14.7 N.m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
3. Check engine oil level.
4. After warming up engine, make sure there are no leaks of engine oil with running engine.
