Unsafe Condition

Failure of the low-oil pressure (LOP) switch cable at the LOP switch connector can result in increased secondary damage after an LP compressor blade failure, leading to rotor imbalance, oil tank cracking, and loss of engine oil. The failure of the LOP switch cable prevents LOP warnings, delaying engine shutdown and causing LP and HP rotor thrust bearings to fail from oil starvation.
