Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Engine Oil Level
A. Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for calibration of the dipstick gauge. The oil level can possibly be too far below the oil pump supply tube. The oil pump cannot supply enough lubrication to the engine components.
Oil
Result: The engine oil level is low.
Add engine oil to obtain the correct engine oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.
Start the engine. Inspect the exterior of the engine for oil leaks. Repair any oil leaks.
Result: The engine oil is not low.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Slope Capability
A. Engine is approved for 25 degrees continuous operation and 30 degrees for less than 2 minutes.
Slope Capability
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on slope capability.
3. Aerated Oil
A. Sample the engine oil for aeration.
Foamy oil on the dipstick is a good indication of aeration.
Aeration
Result: The oil is aerated.
Proceed to Test Step 9.
Result: The oil is not aerated.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Obtain an Oil Sample to Check for Oil Viscosity and Wear Metals
A. Sample the engine oil viscosity. Obtain an S O S Oil Analysis to determine the characteristics of the oil.
Oil viscosity
Result: The oil viscosity is not correct.
Replace the engine oil.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil. If the symptom is corrected, return the unit to service. If the symptom still exists, proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: The oil viscosity is correct.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Oil Filter
A. Replace the engine oil filter.
Filter
Result: The oil filter was changed.
If the symptom is corrected, return the unit to service.
If the symptom still exists, proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Oil Pump
A. Manually check the engine oil pressure and oil pressure relief valve. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Oil Pressure - Test" for the correct procedure.
Oil pressure
Result: The oil pressure meets specifications.
Proceed to Test Step 7.
Result: The oil pressure does not meet specifications.
Replace the oil pump or the oil pressure relief valve. If the symptom is corrected, return the unit to service.
If the symptom still exists, proceed to Test Step 6.
7. Engine Oil Pressure Switch
A. Refer to System Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Oil Pressure - Test".
Sensor
Result The pressure is within specification range.
Proceed to Test Step 8.
Result The pressure is not within specification range.
Replace the switch. If the symptom is corrected, return the unit to service.
If the symptom still exists, proceed to Test Step 8.
8. Engine Oil Filter Bypass
A. Replace the oil filter base.
Filter base
Result: The oil filter base was replaced.
If the symptom is corrected, return the unit to service.
If the symptom still exists, proceed to Test Step 9.
9. Oil Pump Suction Tube
A. Remove the oil pan.
B. Inspect the suction tube. Check the joints of the tube for cracks or for a damaged O-ring seal at the connection to the pump.
C. Inspect the inlet screen of the suction tube for a restriction. This restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure.
Suction tube
Result: The suction tube and seal are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 10.
Result: The suction tube and seal are not OK.
Replace any damaged parts.
10. Worn Engine Components
A. Remove the valve covers.
B. Inspect the camshaft and bearings.
C. Remove the oil pan.
D. Excessive clearance at the crankshaft or camshaft bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine components for excessive clearance. Also, inspect the piston cooling jets.
Worn parts
Result: There are worn engine components.
Replace parts, if necessary. Check the Specifications Manual for the reusability of existing engine components.
