Engine Oil Temperature Sensor: Installation

  1. INSTALL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Using SST, install the temperature sensor with a new gasket

      SST 09922-10010 

      Torque: without SST 

      39 N*m (400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf) 

      Torque: with SST 

      30 N*m (301 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:
      • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using SST with a fulcrum length of 96 mm (3.78 in.).
      • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 in.) (See REPAIR INSTRUCTION ).
      • The "with SST" torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

      • Do not subject the temperature sensor to any impacts.
      • If the sensor is subjected to an impact, replace the temperature sensor with a new one.
      • Do not allow any moisture or foreign matter to enter the temperature sensor or its connector.
    2. Connect the temperature sensor connector.
  2. INSTALL ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Install the engine oil pressure switch (See INSTALLATION ).
  3. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
