1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group 1

An oil pressure gauge that has a defect can indicate low oil pressure.

The 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group can be used to check engine oil pressure.

1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group

The 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group has a gauge that measures the oil pressure in the engine. Refer
to Special Instruction, SEHS8907 for more information on using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group.
The information is included in the tool group.

1. Ensure that the engine is filled to the correct oil level.

2. Connect the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group to a pressure tap location for engine oil.

3. Operate the engine. Allow the engine to obtain normal operating temperature.

4. Keep the oil temperature constant with the engine at the rated rpm. Read the pressure gauge.

5. Refer to Table 2 in order to determine if the engine oil pressure is in tolerance.

Table 2
Oil Pressure (1)

Oil Pressure at 1500 rpm

196 to 392 kPa (28 to 57 psi)

Oil Pressure at Idle (2)

83 to 98 kPa (12 to 14 psi)
(1)
The oil temperature must be 60° to 70°C (140° to 158°F).
(2)
Idle rpm is 900 ± 20 rpm.

Find the cause of the problem and correct the problem if the results of the test do not fall within the
pressure range in Table 2. Engine failure or a reduction in engine life can be the result if engine
operation is continued with oil pressure outside this range.

Note: A record of engine oil pressure at regular intervals can be used as an indication of possible
problems of the engine. A record of engine oil pressure at regular intervals can also be used as an
indication of possible damage to the engine. The engine should be inspected and the problem should
be corrected if there is a sudden increase or a sudden decrease of 70 kPa (10 psi) in oil pressure.
