code 30 ...oil presure 07 apex mtn

[APEX'N]

I changed my oil in the spring ...after completed the job and put the sled back together and started it ... the engine only ran for about 20 seconds then cut out and coded 30... I went to the dealer where the tech told me it was airlocked ... I have tried blowing out some of the vent hoses ...I also stripped it appart again and poured oil down in the filter hole hoping it would pick up the oil......any suggestions

You could try this.

Just flip the sled on the clutch side at a 45 degree angle and hold it there for a minute or so . ( that way the oil tank is right on top and the airlock in the oil line can migrate back up to the tank and oil can fill the lines to the oil pump)

I do that as standard procedure after any oil change or if the sled was on its side or upside down.

Give it a try.

cheers.........

i had this happen to me a few times last year... doing power turns in the pow, layed sled on its side, code 30 popped up... as stated... turn clutch side down... wait... then try again... if nothing i've blipped the throttle and its come out of it too.,.. code goes out and keep on truckin!...

happened on my phazer after having oil hoses off when i took bulkhead off. code 30 popper up, let it sit for 5 minutes. rocked the sled back and forth a bit, started it up again and it was fine.
