Engine Oil Pressure Sensor or Switch Replacement 2.4L (LD9)

Tools Required

J 35749 Oil Pressure Switch Socket

1. Turn off the ignition.



2. Remove the oil pressure sensor connector.
3. Remove the engine oil pressure sensor (1) using the J 35749

1. Coat the sensor threads with sealer.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the oil pressure sensor (1) with the J 35749

Tighten
Tighten the sensor to 12 N·m (106 lb in).
