FAULT DIAGNOSIS

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TEST

Service tools:
LRT-12-052: Pressure test equipment

WARNING: Use suitable exhaust
extraction equipment, if test is being
carried out in workshop.

WARNING: If vehicle has been running,
engine oil will be hot, care must be taken
when fitting equipment to prevent

personal injury due to scalding.

Test

1. Check lubricant is to correct level.
2. Place vehicle on a ramp [hoist].
3. Disconnect battery negative lead. Remove oil

pressure switch.

4. Fit the test gauge.
5. Reconnect battery negative lead.
6. Start and run engine to normal operating

temperature.

7. At a steady engine speed of 2500 rev/min -

engine oil pressure reading should be - 2.75 bar
(40 lbf/in

2

).

8. If the pressure is low - Remove and overhaul oil

pump

CYLINDER COMPRESSION - TEST

Equipment:
Compression pressure gauge

Test

1. Start and run engine until normal engine

operating temperature is achieved (thermostat
open).

2. Remove all spark plugs.
3. Disconnect both coil negative (WB) leads
4. Insert compression gauge, crank engine until

reading stabilises.
