Oil Pressure Switch Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1991 Honda Civic and 1990 Honda Civic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the YEL/RED wire from the oil pressure switch. See Fig 1 .
  2. There should be continuity between the positive terminal and the engine ground with the engine stopped. There should be no continuity when the engine runs.
  3. If the switch fails to operate, check the engine oil level, then inspect the oil pump and pressure if the oil level is correct.
