SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 

ECM performs the variable hydraulic control (low oil pressure control and high oil pressure control) based on signals from each sensor according to oil temperature and engine load. ECM activates the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve and switches to the low oil pressure control and high oil pressure control. ECM uses the low oil pressure control for 80-90% of the operating area to maintain low oil pressure and stops piston cooling jet (i.e. achievement of less than or equal to jet injection valve opening pressure).
