6-8.OIL.SENSOR
(1) Disconnect wires comming from the sensor at the connection .
(2) Loosen the sensor to remove it from the engine .
(3) Plug the opening of oil filler hole (created after sensor is removed) with suitable means such
as oil gauge .
(4) Connect the removed wires again with the oil sensor .
(5) Start the engine with the oil sensor removed and confirm if ;
a . Engine stops after 5 seconds which is normal, or
b . Engine does not stop after more than 10 seconds which is unusual .
NOTE : The sensor will not operate properly when wire is broken or poorly connected.
Check the wires for correct connection. If it fails to stop within 5 seconds after the wirings
have checked, the sensor is wrong. Replace the sensor with new one.

6-8-2.CONSTRUCTION.AND.OPERATION
Disconnect wires comming from the sensor The
oil sensor is composed of the float, permanent
magnet incorporated into the float and the oil
sensor .
In accordance with the oil level, the float moves
up and down .
When the oil level is upper level, the float
moves up .
When the oil level is lower level, the float
moves down .
The permanent magnet is close to the lead
switch, and the lead switch is activated by the
magnetic force .
NOTE : With regards to the wiring diagram,
please refer to the section 9 (page46).
