Removal and Replacement

Before Removing
1 Ensure that the engine is safe to work on. If the
engine has been running, make sure the engine has
cooled sufficiently before you start.

Removal
1 Uncouple the electrical connector at the engine oil
pressure switch 8-1.

2 Unscrew the switch from the oil cooler housing 8-2.

Discard the sealing washer 8-P1. Note that some oil
will be lost from the open port. Cap open ports to
prevent ingress of dirt.

Note: The engine oil pressure switch is a non serviceable

item. If the switch is faulty or damaged it must be renewed.

Inspection
1 If a faulty switch is suspected, use a suitable
multimeter to check that the correct supply voltage is
present at the switch electrical connector. Carry out
tests on the parent machine electrical circuits to
check for possible wiring faults. The fault may be
caused by failure of other components within the
electrical system.

Replacement
Replacement is the reverse of removal but note the
following:

1 Renew the sealing washer 8-P1.

2 Torque tighten the engine oil pressure switch.
