Oil Sensor
The sensor sends the signal to the low-oil level
light in the fuel gauge or the LED in the Info Cen-
ter.
1. Oil sensor
The bottom of the sensor has a small reservoir
with two small holes underneath to let the oil en-
ter inside and one at the top to let the air enter
allowing the oil to flow out.
When there is enough oil inside the oil tank (and
therefore in the sensor reservoir), the sensor de-
tects the liquid and the light DOES NOT turn on.
When the oil level goes at critical LOW level in-
side the oil tank (and therefore in sensor reser-
voir), the sensor detects the absence of liquid and
the light TURNS ON.
To check the oil sensor, unplug its connector and
pull sensor out of oil tank.
Using a multimeter, check the continuity between
the BLUE and BLUE/BLACK terminals.
When sensor is out of oil tank and its reservoir is
empty, resistance must be infinite (open circuit).
NOTE: Wait about 15-20 seconds before taking
any reading to give the oil enough time to flow out
or inside sensor reservoir.
Soak sensor in oil so that its reservoir fills up.
Maximum resistance should be approximately
2
Ω
(closed circuit).

To Reinstall Sensor:
– Remove rubber seal from sensor.
– Install seal in oil tank hole.
– Push sensor in seal.
– Plug connector.
NOTE: This sensor turns the LED to ON if the
connector has been forgotten unconnected even
when there is enough oil in tank.
