Ambi€nt Temperature
An oil with a viscosity of 5 W 30 is preferred forimproved fuel economy and year-round protection inthe vehicle.
You may use a 10 W 30 oil if the climate in your area islimited to the temperature range shown on the chart.

Oil Pressure
Testing
lf the oil pressure warning light stays on with the enginerunning, check the engine oil level. It the oil level iscorrect:
Connect a tachometer.
Remove the oil pressure switch and install an oil pressure gauge.
Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gaugeregasters no oil pressure. Repair the problem beforecontinuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan
comes on at least twicel. The pressure should be:
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle: 70 kPa {O.7 kgficmr, tO psil
minimum
At 3,OOO rpm: 34O kPa (3.5 kgf/cmr, 50 psil
minimum
a lf oilpressure is within specifications, replace theengine oil pressure switch and recheck.
a lf oil pressure is NOT within specifications,rnspect the oil pump (see page g-11).

1. Remove the oil jet (see pages 8 4 or 8 5) and inspectit as follows.
a Make sure rhat a 1 .1 mm (O.04 in) diameter drillwillgo through the nozzle hole fl.2 mm (O.O5 in)diameter).
a Insert the other end of the same 1 .1 mm {0.O4in) drill into the oit intake (1.2 mm (0.05 in)diameter).
Make sure the check ball moves smoothly and hasa stroke of approximately 4.0 mm (O.16 in).a Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. ltshould take at least 2OO kPa 12.O kg|lcm2, 2gpsi) to unseat the check ball.
NOTE: Replace the oiljet assembly if the nozzleis damaged or bent.

Service Limit: 0.2O mm (O.OO8 inl
Inspect both rotors and pump housing tor scoring or
other damage. Replace parts if necessary.
Remove the old oil seal from the oil pump.
Gently tap in the new oil seal until the special tool
bottoms on the pump.

speeds over following rpm:. B'1881 engine: 970 rpm {Canada model: 1.050 rpm). B18C1 engine:970 rpm {Canada model: 1.050 rpm). 818C5 engine: 1,300 rpm (Canada model: 1,400 rpm)
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 7,000 rpm (B'1881 engine), 8.100 rpm (818C1
engine) or 8,600 rpm (818C5 engine), regardless ol the position of the thronle valve, to protect the engine from
over-revving.
A,,/C ComDressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from being
energized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A,/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolanl temperature is above '154'F (68'C) and the air conditioner on. the ECM controls the EVAPpurge control solenoid valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister.
Intake Air Eypass (lAB) Control Solenoid Valve*a
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, rhe IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM, intake
air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At speeds higher than 5,750 rpm, the solenoidvalve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the resistance in
airflow.
Sell-diagnosis Function lMalfunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)lWhen an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code in
erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground for the N4lL tor two seconds to
check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Driving Cycle Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Driving Cycle Detection Method is used for the HO2S, fuel metering-related, idle
control system, ECT sensor, TWC and EVAP control system and other self-diagnostic functions, When an abnormality
occurs, the ECM stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFFand ON (ll)again, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you shon the service check connector. The MIL will
then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.

ECM Fail-safe/8ack.up F0nctions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-programmed
value for that sensor that allows the enqine to continue to run.
2. Back-uo Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent of the
system in order to permit minimal driving.
