2. Remove the oil pressure switch.
3. Install a mechanical oil pressure gauge in the
oil pressure switch port.
4. Start the engine:
• If the mechanical oil pressure test gauge
indicates good oil pressure, replace the faulty
oil pressure switch or sending unit, or faulty
machine oil pressure gauge in instrument
panel.
• If the mechanical oil pressure test gauge
indicates low oil pressure, troubleshoot the
lubrication system to locate the cause of the
low oil pressure.
See Failure Diagnostic List on
