ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH REPLACEMENT

^ Tools Required
- J 41712 Oil Pressure Switch Socket

Removal Procedure





1. Remove the distributor. Distributor Replacement
2. Disconnect the engine oil pressure gauge sensor electrical connector.
3. Hold the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting with a wrench.
4. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge sensor using the J 41712.





Important: Note the alignment of the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting prior to removal.

5. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting, if necessary.

Installation Procedure





Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting, if removed.

1.1. Tighten the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).

Important: Do not loosen the sensor fitting. Do not tighten the sensor fitting more than one turn to align.

1.2. Tighten the sensor fitting until properly align.





2. Install the engine oil pressure gauge sensor.
3. Hold the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting with a wrench to prevent from turning.

^ Using the J 41712 tighten the engine oil pressure gauge sensor to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

4. Connect the engine oil pressure gauge sensor electrical connector.
5. Install the distributor. Refer to Distributor Replacement.
