  5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
  6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
    NOTE: When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.

    Engine oil pressure: Refer to  "ENGINE OIL PRESSURE ".

    If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leakage. 

  7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as per the following:
    1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and the mating surface.
    2. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification.

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

      Tightening torque: Refer to  "EXPLODED VIEW ".

    3. After warming up engine, check there is no leakage of engine oil with running engine.
