Nissan Murano: System / Engine Protection Control at Low Engine Oil Pressure
System Description
SYSTEM DIAGRAM

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
-
The engine protection control at low engine oil pressure warns the driver of a decrease in engine oil pressure by the oil pressure warning lamp before the engine becomes damaged.
-
When detecting a decrease in engine oil pressure at an engine speed less than 1,000 rpm, ECM transmits an oil pressure warning lamp signal to the combination meter. The combination meter turns ON the oil pressure warning lamp, according to the signal.
-
When detecting a decrease in engine oil pressure at an engine speed 1,000 rpm or more, ECM transmits an oil pressure warning lamp signal to the combination meter.
The combination meter turns ON the oil pressure warning lamp, according to the signals. When detecting a decrease in engine oil pressure, ECM cuts fuel if the engine speed exceeds the specified value.

Description
MAINTENANCE OF OIL LEVELThe compressor oil is circulating in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to fill compressor with oil when replacing A/C system parts or when a large amount of refrigerant leaks are detected. It is important to always maintain oil level within the specified level or the following conditions may occur:
Insufficient oil amount: Stuck compressor
Excessive oil amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
Oil Type
: "Oil"...
