Checking Engine Oil Pressure

MEASUREMENT





1) Remove generator from bracket.
(1) Disconnect connector and terminal from generator.





(2) Remove V-belt cover.
(3) Loosen lock bolt and slider bolt, and remove front side V-belt.





(4) Remove lock bolt.
(5) Remove bolts which install generators on bracket.





2) Disconnect connector from oil pressure switch.
3) Remove oil pressure switch from engine block.





4) Connect oil pressure gauge hose.
5) Start the engine, and measure oil pressure.

Oil pressure:
98 kPa (1.0 kgs-cm2, 14 psi) or more at 600 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kgs-cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000 rpm

CAUTION:
- If oil pressure is out of specification, check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line.
- If oil pressure warning light is turned ON and oil pressure is in specification, replace oil pressure switch.

NOTE: The specified data is based on an engine oil temperature of 80°C (176°F).

6) After measuring oil pressure, install oil pressure switch.

Tightening torque 25 ± 3 Nm (2.5 ± 0.3 kg-m, 18.1 ± 2.2 ft. lbs.)

7) Install generator and V-belt in the reverse order of removal, and adjust the V-belt deflection.
