  1. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. A01CH5VE01

      Warm up the engine, then stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. Check that the engine oil level is between the Low and Full level marks.

      If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

      Note


      • Do not add engine oil above the Full mark.

      • If the oil level is 25 mm (0.98 in.) above the Full mark, replace engine oil.

  2. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE


    1. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.

    2. Remove the oil pressure switch.

    3. A01CHIQE01
