For some reason (I don't know where), I got the impression that the yellow check engine light on my 2021 Coleman (Hisun) Outfitter 500 ALSO served as a low oil pressure indicator.  I was thumbing though the almost useless user's manual, and found nothing about any low oil pressure indicator.   It lights upon key on power up as normal.  After engine start, it remains on for about 3 to 5 seconds before going out, consistent with the engine building oil pressure.  At least that is what I am thinking.

Does anyone know for sure if this yellow check engine light also serves as a low oil pressure indicator???

Thanks.

After review of not the owner's manual but of the Hisun engine tech manual searching the text for "oil pressure" I found only one reference for testing oil pressure on this engine.

It says to loosen a bolt that is the oil passage bolt, start the engine and wait to see if oil drips out of the loose bolt.   Pretty high tech eh?😒

I wonder if this would be a place to connect a manual oil pressure line to a gauge?

I would assume that would be “a” place if not “the” place. My vector 500 does the same thing, but judging by the length of time it remains on, I sure hope it’s not taking that long to build pressure. Mine is one year old next week, just turned 70 hrs. So far, I honestly could not be more satisfied with it. It has a couple of annoying little bugs, but It hasn’t left me high and dry yet. I think come winter I’ll poke around and check valve clearances and general inspection, adjustments and change trans and dif fluids along with oil and filters before laying it up. After my initial anxiety about buying a sub par product, I am now really glad I bought it. I’ll probably buy another one but if I do I’ll get it from a dealer, not a big box, even if I have to travel a few hundred miles

Yes, I agree, I bought mine in January 2022 at a local Tractor Supply, and it has about 80 hours on it now. So far, so good. Been pretty reliable but I only use it for property maintenance so no wide open trail type abuse. Although I have some large hills here that require 4WD to navigate.  Got a KFI 60" plow for it this spring so it will take on those duties this winter. 

I may try to install a manual oil pressure gauge this fall just to be sure pressure is built.   I just don't know if the ECM is fed by one of the sensors on the engine.  I guess I could get in there with a light and a mirror to see if there are any block mounted sensors that might be oil pressure related. 

The only thing I could find in the tech manual is how to test for the required 9.2 lbs of oil pressure at 1,500 rpms.  All that procedure tells us is to watch for oil leaking from the loosened oil gallery bolt.  How to and where to hook up a pressure gauge is no where to be found.   The whole manual is as if written by 12 engineers with a severe language barrier between them all.

I have purchased the sending unit, low pressure gauge,T and fittings. To install the sending unit in the line on top of the oil cooler. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. 

 

I blew the head gasket and just waiting on the mood to hit to fix that.

      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      I’ve never been around Coleman Utv machines. Do they have a good reputation, durable dependability. Could you compare them to yamaha rhinos or Polaris ranger
       
      thanks in advance

      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):

      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      I got the fronts adjusted.  I'm trying to raise the ride height in the rear, but my spanner wrench keeps slipping.  Is there an easier better way?  It's like there's too much pressure working against me to be able to twist the height adjusters.  How can I relieve that tension to make them easier to turn?

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!
