Re: alarm

hello<br /> withoput going into a lot on a fine hurricane morning, search all the posts in the past few days. the posts to KESH I think have all the tests you will need.do you already have the hot horn that self tests when you turn on the ign.? does your motor have the system check? need to post engine model numbers and such .

Re: alarm

The easy way to test the VRO pump alarm is to use the stainless steel plyers that a doctor uses to clamp off a blood vein without crushing the vein, clamp off the oil line, start and run engine at idle, make take 45-60 seconds, alarm should sound, release clamp, pump should pickup oil and alarm should stop sounding in about 10-15 seconds. Overheat, ground tan lead at sensor to block, alarm should sound, this test does not test sensor. To test overheat sensor, hot water and temp probe, temp sensor will close at 180, 203,227, 240 depending on trace color on sensor pigtail.
