I'm not sure I understand your problem. First of all it's perfectly normal for the EGT to rise to about 800 degs, then drop back and settle around 400. Furthermore the LOW OIL PX light will for sure come on as long as oil pressure is not within normal operating range. Or are you saying the light stays on, or comes on after APU start? Even then there's not much you could do than place the switch back to OFF since the APU would shutdown on its own in this case. sig.gif

I know in normal condition is EGT rising first then drop to about 400 degs,and then APU gen bus illuminates.But in my most condition is whatever i turn APU switch to start,EGT not rising OR only rising to 400 degrees with Low oil pressure.APU.jpg
