CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
AND FUEL LEVEL PILOT
LIGHTS
- Proceed according to the following
procedure:
- Turn on the ignition switch and
check that the fuel reserve level and
engine oil level pilot light verification
check comes into operation (appro-
ximately 10 seconds) on the instru-
ment panel (if this check does not
operate, check the condition of the
battery voltage, the main fuse, the
check unit, and the electrical con-
nection to these components).
- Disconnect the connector spade of
the corresponding sensor, and short
the end that plugs into the electrical
wiring circuit with a tail of electric
cable, then turn on the ignition
switch, and the pilot light for the
reserve with the bridged sensor
should remain on: if this is not the
case, there is a fault in the electrical
wiring in the circuit for this pilot light.
Fuel level sensor:
Oil level sensor:
- Take a couple of ends of cable and
connect them to the terminals of the
battery of the machine, and put a
bulb in one of them. Disconnect the
spade connector of the sensor to be
checked, and connect the ends to
the cables. Then remove the sensor
to be checked from its socket
(taking care in the case of the fuel
sensor, because it is located at the
bottom of the tank, which should be
emptied before carrying out this

test). Hold the sensor in a vertical position, out of the
tank for about 1 minute, after which time the pilot
lamp should come on. If the pilot light does not light
up, it is faulty, and should be replaced.
- Reinstall the sensors and the electrical connections
properly, fill the fuel tank and the oil reservoir, then
turn on the ignition key. Check that the reserve tank
pilot light operating test runs (about 10 seconds).
Keep the ignition key switched on for about 1 minu-
te, and after that time the oil and fuel reserve pilot
lights should go off and stay off. If this does not
occur, it indicates that the pilot light is faulty and in
this case should be replaced.
