Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
Purpose
-
The engine oil pressure warning light warns the driver that the engine oil level is insufficient.
Function
-
When the instrument cluster receives the engine oil pressure warning light request signal sent from the PCM via the CAN signal, it illuminates the engine oil pressure warning light.
Construction
-
The instrument cluster controls illumination on/off of the engine oil pressure warning light using the instrument cluster microcomputer based on the engine oil pressure warning light request signal from the PCM.
-
The engine oil pressure warning light is set in the instrument cluster.
Operation
1. The instrument cluster receives (1) the engine oil pressure warning light request signal from the PCM.
2. The instrument cluster microcomputer turns the transistor on (2) based on the engine oil pressure warning light request signal.
3. When the transistor turns on, a ground circuit with the engine oil pressure warning light is established and the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates (3).
Fail-safe

CAUTION:
If the ATF level is not within the specification or ATF is not adhering to
the dipstick after warming up the engine, do not drive the vehicle. Otherwise,
the transaxle could be damaged.

Rear Drive Shaft
Purpose, Function
Engine noise and vibration have been reduced due to adoption of a bell joint
on the wheel side of the constant velocity joint.
A low noise and vibration double offset joint with low slide resistance has
been adopted for the differential side of the constant v ...
Thermostat
Purpose, Function
When the engine coolant temperature is low, the thermostat blocks the engine
coolant passage between the radiator and engine. As a result, because engine
coolant cycles without passing through the radiator, warming is promoted.
Construction
The thermostat ...
