NJLC0042WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Neutral position”.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove exhaust front tube.
3. Remove oil pressure switch.
4. Install pressure gauge.
5. Install exhaust front tube.
6. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine speed
rpmApproximate discharge pressure
kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Idle speed More than 140 (1.40, 1.43, 20.3)
2,000 More than 270 (2.69, 2.75, 39.1)
4,000 More than 430 (4.29, 4.38, 62.3)
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump
for oil leaks.
8. After the inspections, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove the old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.
b. Apply Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent to the thread and
tighten.
: 13 - 17 N·m (1.25 - 1.75 kg-m, 9 - 12 ft-lb)
Oil Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNJLC0043When installing oil pump, apply engine oil to rotors.
Refer to EM-26, “Primary Timing Chain” for removal.
Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine and wait more than 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.

CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N·m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
5. Check oil level.
6. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for
oil leakage.
7. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.

On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS00KBE
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise. When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction
is indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to LC-11. Also, replace the
engine oil. Refer to LC-8.
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-21.
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS00KBF
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up
pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to EC-328,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to EC-328,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
3. Turn ignition switch “ON”.

ture (Overheat)
●Cooling fan does not operate properly (Over-
