Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection

A: 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 V-belt for generator.





4) Remove generator lock bolt.
5) Remove bolt which install generator on bracket.





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





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

Oil pressure: (engine oil temperature: 80°C (176°F))
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm2, 14 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/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.

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.
