Lexus SC300 / Lexus SC400. Manual - part 703

2. 

INSPECT OIL PRESSURE
HINT: Before inspecting the oil pressure, first check that the
A/C is off.
(a)  Using SST, connect terminals OP1 and E1 of the check

(”DIAGNOSIS”) connector.

SST 09843–18020
HINT: When terminals OP1 and E1 are connected, the circuit
of the water temp. sensor is grounded, fixing the fan speed
at approx. 1,100 rpm. (Fail–safe operation occurs.)
(b)  Bleed the hydraulic cooling system
(See page 

CO–24

)

(c)  Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm until the fluid

temperature reaches the specified temperature.

Fluid temp.: 70–90

°

C (158–195

°

F)

(d)  Check the fluid level is correct.

(e)  Measure the oil pressure at idling.

Oil pressure: 1,177–2,452 kPa

(12–25 kgf/cm, 171–356 psi)

(f)  Remove the SST from the check connector.
SST 09843–18020

(g)  Check that the oil pressure decreases.
