Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. With a scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter in the powertrain control module (PCM) Engine Data 2 data list.

Does the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter display OK?

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 4

Is the CHECK OIL LEVEL message in the driver information center (DIC) illuminated?

Go to Step 9

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the engine oil level switch.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the signal circuit of the engine oil level switch and a good ground.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter.

Does the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter display OK?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 5

Test the signal circuit of the engine oil level switch for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to battery voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 8

Test the ground circuit of the engine oil level switch for an open or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
