CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

  • When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Check the engine oil level Click here.

    2. Check the state of the oil level warning light.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Engine oil level is low and oil level warning light is illuminated A
      Engine oil level is within the specified range and oil level warning light is not illuminated B

      Tech Tips

      If the oil level warning light is not illuminated even though the engine oil level is lower than the Low mark, or the oil level warning light is illuminated even though the engine oil level is within the specified range, inspect the oil level sensor and related parts for malfunctions.

  2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEAKS


    1. Check for engine oil leaks.

      Result
      If there are engine oil leaks, perform repairs.

  3. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add engine oil.

  4. INSPECT OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY (OIL PRESSURE SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY OPERATION)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Start the engine and warm it up.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Engine Oil Pressure Control Check Click here.

    5. Compare the "valve off" (high pressure control mode) and "valve on" (low pressure control mode) oil pressure values and check the difference.

      Standard
      24.5 kPa or higher.

    OK

    END

    NG

  5. CHECK OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY (OIL PRESSURE SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY OPERATION)


    1. Disconnect the connector of the oil pressure switching valve assembly.

      Note


      • Make sure that the engine is stopped before disconnecting the connector of the oil pressure switching valve assembly.

      • Make sure that the disconnected connector does not get caught in moving engine parts.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Engine Oil Pressure Control Check Click here.

    6. Check the engine oil pressure value.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Engine oil pressure rises to between 120 and 430 kPa A
      Except above B

      Tech Tips

      Low oil pressure control mode is not performed when the connector of the oil pressure switching valve assembly is disconnected. Therefore, if the measurement results from Engine Oil Pressure Control Check all indicate oil pressure values which are high, it can be determined that there is an electrical malfunction.

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OIL PRESSURE SWITCHING VALVE - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the oil pressure switching valve assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B65-2 - Body ground* Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Tech Tips

      *: Make sure that there are no short circuits to the battery

    4. Reconnect the oil pressure switching valve assembly connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Start the engine and warm it up.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Engine Oil Pressure Control Check Click here.

    5. Compare the "valve off" (high pressure control mode) and "valve on" (low pressure control mode) oil pressure values and check that the oil pressure has risen.

      Standard
      24.5 kPa or higher.

    OK

    END

    NG

  13. REPAIR OR REPLACE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY


    1. Repair or replace the oil pump assembly.

      Tech Tips

      If the oil pressure does not rise after disconnecting the connector of the oil pressure switching valve assembly, or if the oil pressure changes, but the difference between the low oil pressure and high oil pressure is small, a mechanical malfunction is probably the cause.


      • The sleeve is locked due to foreign matter.

      • The oil pressure relief valve is locked due to foreign matter.

      • The check valve is stuck.
