P1000 Oil light

[YardDog]

Everything was fine. Put roughly 40 miles of gravel on today. Go to check cattle and ride fence and the oil light comes on and temp hits three bars. Puke bottle is full, oil level is perfect. I'm sitting in the middle of a pasture letting it cool down before I try to start it again. Any ideas ?

How dirty is the radiator?

Radiator is clear.

Interesting issue. did you notice anything else happening before it got hot?
Did it happen again when you got going?

Everything else is normal. Started it up and made it 1/4 mile and light came on again. Didn't check temp just shut it down. Waited a few seconds and fired it up again. At idle, no oil light and temp is twi bars. Heading to the house, lets see how far I get this time.

Made it 500 feet. Oil light is on, temp at two bars like always.

This is bulls***. Only 2k on the rig.

Is the oil light for low oil or oil temp? If its saying its low when it's not I'd just drive home and get it to the dealer. @lee?

Have you had the clutch cover update done? You said oil level was perfect - I assume you checked both the subtran and the motor? Also is your fan cutting on?

No idea. It's just a red light that says oil.

Had clutch update done. Didn't check sub because I thought the oil light was for engine only. Fan works like it always has and temp stays at two bars now, but oil light keeps coming on.

Took forever to get home, but from what I have found it's rpm under load related. I can fire it up and idle forever and it's fine. I can rev and hold at 5000 rpm's and it's fine. I can put it in low or high and drive around and it's fine. But shortly after hitting 4000 rpm's under load the oil light comes on. I'll check in the morning and see if it does the same thing with a cold motor. Hate to hit 4k rpm's on a cold start, but they do it all the time at the dealers.

There is going to be some smarter people come a long and comment as the holiday weekend comes to a close I just know it. I was asking about the clutch cover as I “heard” that the oil temp light will now be more responsive when the clutches are heating up - giving you indication ahead of risk of burning them up. It doesn’t sound like you were doing anything to risk that though. I asked about the subtran - just to further eliminate another element.

Could it have anything to do with the brand of oil you're using? How long ago was the update done? Could it be a wire worked loose? Most likely it's a minor issue and an easy fix.

I use Honda oil and filters, clutch update was done April 9th. Tried it this morning when cold and light still comes on at 4k rpms. And something else popped up this morning, it no longer starts in gear now, only park or nuetral.

Just tossing this out there to check as well Page 225 on the manual say the light will come on if the emergency valve is turned on - while this probably has nothing to do with it I would check that to just eliminate one more thing - who know it could have rattled loose. Doubt that is it however

is this the first time you have driven it since the clutch update. I read where the dealer has pinched a gasket or a O ring while doing the clutch update causing the oil light to come on. so if this is the first time you have driven it that might be the problem or have you driven it a lot since the clutch update.

Winner! Bad clutch update installation!
This is a common occurrence, techs tend to miss a crucial oring during installation.

Not sure if it is driveable right now, or not. Personally I would drive it. Any problems would be on the dealer.

 

[YardDog]

So a pinched o ring could be the culprit? I've put 400 miles on it since the clutch update with no problems . Any thoughts why it suddenly wont start in gear now?

They have a neutral safety switch, they will only start in neutral or park.


400 miles, might not have been the right conditions yet is all.
