1) Verify, with the driver, the engine speed at which the fault occurs. If the engine is being
operated at too low of a speed, the oil pressure can drop below the engine protection
limits.
2) Connect a manual gauge to monitor actual oil pressure of the engine.
3) Engines in the field can have had a jumper harness kit installed which connects the oil
pressure switch to pin K in the 23-pin OEM connector or cavity 8 in the Ford OEM
connector.
4) The fault will trigger if lubricating oil pressure drops below 41 kPa [6 psi] for 30 seconds.

Engine Protection Shutdown will be activated after an additional 30 seconds if the feature
is enabled in the ECM.
