On–vehicle inspection
1. Check engine oil level
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ”f” mark.
Notice
: do not fill with engine oil above the ”f” mark.
2. Check engine oil quality
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade: use api grade sl ”energy–conserving”, or ilsac multigrade engine oil.
Sae 5w–30 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.
If sae 5w–30 is not available, sae 10w–30 may be used.
However, it should be replaced with sae 5w–30 at the next oil replacement.
3. Inspect oil pressure
Oil pressure:

Monitor description
While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive voltage is applied to
terminal sta of the ecm.
If the ecm detects the starter control signal (sta) while the vehicle is
driving, it will conclude that there is
a fault in the starter control circuit. The ecm will turn on the mil and a d ...
Circuit description
When the idle switch is turned on, a signal is sent to the cruise control ecu
assy. The cruise control ecu
assy uses this signal to correct the discrepancy between the throttle valve
position and the actuator position
sensor values to enable accurate cruise control at the set speed. If the idl ...
