    1. Tool number: ST25051001 (J-25695-1) 
    2. : ST25052000 (J-25695) 
  6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
  7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.

    Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (175°F)] 

    Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 .psi>)

    ENGINE SPEED REFERENCE TABLE

    Engine Speed Approximate Discharge Pressure
    Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi)
    Idle speed More than 98 (1.0, 14)
    2,000 RPM More than 294 (3.0, 43)
    CAUTION: If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.
  8. After the inspections, install oil pressure sensor as follows:
    1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure sensor and engine.
    2. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure sensor to the specification.

      Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent  . Refer to "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS "

      1. Oil pressure sensor torque: 14.7 N.m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb) 
    3. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with engine running.
