| Inspection |
| 1. |
Check the continuity between the terminal and the body with an ohmmeter. If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure switch.
|
| 2. |
Check the continuity between the terminal and the body when the fine wire is pushed. If there is continuity even when the fine wire is pushed, replace the switch.
|
| 3. |
If there is no continuity when a 19.6-39.2kpa (0.2-0.4kg/cm², 2.8-5.6 psi) is applied through the oil hole, the switch is operating properly. Check for air leakage. If air leaks, the diaphragm is broken. Replace it. |
