Perform the following steps to determine if repaired relief valve resolved low oil pressure:‪

1. Connect to DDDL 7.0.
2. Start and run engine speed at 1800 rpm.
3. Visually examine DDDL 7.0 for oil pressure reading.
   1. If DDDL 7.0 indicates 241 kPa (35 psi), or more at 1800 rpm, shut down the engine and disconnect DDDL 7.0. No further troubleshooting is required.
   2. If DDDL 7.0 indicates less than 241 kPa (35 psi), at 1800 rpm, shut down the engine and disconnect DDDL 7.0, check pickup tube and screen assembly; refer to "2.10 Defective Pickup Screen Tube and Screen Assembly" .
