To determine if a faulty oil pressure gage sensor is causing low oil pressure, perform the
following steps:
1. Connect to DDDL 7.0.
2. Start and vary the engine speed between 1800 – 2100 rpm.
3. Visually examine DDDL 7.0 for oil pressure reading.
[a] If DDDL 7.0 indicates oil pressure greater than or equal 241 kPa (35 psi) at 1800
rpm, shut down the engine and disconnect DDDL 7.0, refer to OEM for the correct
operation of the oil gage.
[b] If DDDL 7.0 indicates oil pressure less than 241 kPa (35 psi) at 1800 rpm, shut
down the engine; refer to section 2.4.1.

Oil Pressure Gage Sensor Replacement
Perform the following steps to replace the oil pressure gage sensor:
1. Remove and replace the oil pressure gage sensor; refer to OEM guidelines.
2. Verify replaced oil pressure gage sensor; refer to section 2.4.1.1.
2.4.1.1
Test the Engine with Replaced Oil Pressure Gage Sensor
Perform the following steps to determine if replaced oil pressure gage sensor resolved low oil
pressure:
1. Connect to DDDL 7.0.
2. Start and run engine speed at 1800 rpm.
3. Visually examine DDDL 7.0 for oil pressure reading.
[a] If DDDL 7.0 indicates oil pressure greater than or equal 241 kPa (35 psi) at 1800
rpm, shut down the engine and disconnect DDDL 7.0. No further troubleshooting is
required.
[b] If DDDL 7.0 indicates oil pressure less than 241 kPa (35 psi) at 1800 rpm, shut down
the engine and disconnect DDDL 7.0. Refer to section 2.5.
