Oil Pressure Switch Test
1. Remove the YEURED wire (A)from the engine oilpressure switch (B).
Check for continuity between the positive terminal(C) and the engine (ground). There should be
continuity with the engine stopped. There should
be no continuity with the engine running.
lf the switch fails to operate, check the engine oil
level. lf the engine oil level is OK. check the engine
oil pressure. lf the oil pressure is OK, replace lhe oil
Dressure switch.

Oil Pressure Test
lf the oil pressure indicator stays on with the engine
running. check the engine oil level. lf the oil level is
correct:
Connect a tachometer.
Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install
an oil pressure gauge {A).
{
'1.
\.(
4.
Sta rt the engine. Shut it off immediately if thegauge registers no oil pressure. Repair lhe problem
before continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature(fan comes on at least twice), The pressure should
be:
Engine Oil Temperature: 176'F (80'Cl
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle:70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cm', 10 psi)
mtntmum
At 3,000 rpm: 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm',44 psi)
minimum
lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect these items:. Check the oil screenforclogging.. Check the oil pump (see page 8-8).. Check crankshaft and connecting rod bearing
clearances.

The i-WEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in addition to the usual
VTEC.
This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions at all Ievels of engine speed, vehicle speed.
and engine load.
The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. lt changes the intake valve timing continuously.
