Measuring Engine Oil Pressure

SMCS - 1304-081

Table 1
Tools Needed Qty
1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group
1

An incorrect engine oil pressure gauge and an incorrect engine oil pressure sensor will provide
false indications of low engine oil pressure or high engine oil pressure. Use the 1U-5470 Engine
Pressure Group to measure the engine oil pressure. Follow the instructions in Special Instruction,
SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group " that is included with the tool.

Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are
hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.

Illustration 1 g00285344

Measure the engine oil pressure to the camshaft and main bearings on each side of the cylinder
block at oil gallery plug (1). With the engine at operating temperature, the correct minimum
engine oil pressure at full load rpm is approximately 280 kPa (40 psi). The correct minimum
engine oil pressure at low idle rpm is approximately 140 kPa (20 psi).

Compare the results to the engine oil pressure that is indicated on the engine oil pressure gauge
and on the electronic service tool. If there is a notable difference between the engine oil pressure
readings, determine the cause.

If the engine oil pressure is too low or too high, determine the cause and correct the condition. If
the engine oil pressure gauge or the engine oil pressure sensor is incorrect, replace the suspect
component.
