July 3, 201015 yr The DRIVE amber caution light comes on when: * Low oil pressure is sensed in the IDG * The IDG is disconnected automatically due to high oil pressure * The IDG is disconnected manually with the drive disconnect switch * The engine is not running.

"Yes, no and maybe... (again)Underfrequency, underpressure will put on the DRIVE light.Overtemperature might trigger a thermal mechanism and disconnect the Constant Speed Drive from the generator. This will indirectly put on the DRIVE light (when the generator is underfreq or the oil pressure gets too low).Manual disconnection produces the same effect.Engine not running? Well, if it is windmilling really fast, perhaps you can get the drive to spin fast enough to generate electricity and build up the oil pressure ; )On some other types of Boeing, underfrequency doesn't put on the DRIVE light, so it is easier to extinguish this light.Cheers.Qavion
July 6, 201015 yr Author The reason I posted these questions, was because no answers were given to these questions, on the Smart-cockpit 737NG questionnaires. i was leaning towards low oil pressure on this question.

July 6, 201015 yr I fly the 737 for American and the acceptable school house answer is low oil pressure. Tom Landry
July 7, 201015 yr I fly the 737 for American and the acceptable school house answer is low oil pressure.I wanna do my next type oral in Dallas, then. :( Matt Cee
July 10, 201015 yr Well since all "orals" for initial training are on the computer now that may not be the proper answer on that test. I did my initial training before when we still did traditional oral exams. For recurrent training low oil pressure is a good answer. Tom Landry
