Check that thermocouple wire is used between probe and EDM, and not spliced with copper wire. Check reading with engine cold. Check reading in boiling water (212F).

Check wire – insulation broken through – picking up outside voltage. [K-type has only mV signal]

The Oil Probe – p/n 400505 L/C comes in one size: 1/8″ NPT. Continental engines may require a ‘brass’ oil probe adapter. These come in: 1/4″ OD tapered, 3/8″ OD tapered, and 5/8″ OD straight not tapered with 1/8″ ID NPT. JPI has only one Oil probe collar adapter (p/n 400503). This comes in: 5/8″ OD straight not tapered with 1/8″ ID NPT — Cost is: $40.00 [ Contact the Sales Department at 800-345-4574 ]

** We also have a 5/8″-18 NT Oil Probe – p/n 400509 that can be used with EDM’s and Vision Micro units.

• Temperature may be different from factory gauge because of different location on the engine.

• Check reading with engine cold. Should read close to ambient.

• Check reading by dipping probe into boiling water; should read 212°F or 100°C.

• Check that thermocouple wire is used between probe and EDM, and not spliced copper wire.

• Compare reading to aircraft’s oil gauge. If the readings go very high, the display will blank out.

• Check for a bent or recessed pin on the rear P1 connector.

• Check crimps between probe and harness.
