1. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Malfunction |
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the signal circuit of the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor. When the oil pressure is high, the sensor is open, and the ECM senses a high signal voltage. When the oil pressure is low, the sensor is closed and the ECM senses a low signal voltage.
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, engine running, verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter is OK.
⇒ | If not the specified value, refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
