Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Engine Oil Pressure 5-Volts Reference Circuit | P0522 | P0522 | P0523 | -- |
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Signal Circuit | P0522 | P0523 | P0523 | -- |
Low Reference | -- | P0523 | -- | -- |
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor changes resistance based on engine oil pressure. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the signal circuit of the EOP sensor. When the oil pressure is high, the sensor resistance is high, and the ECM senses a high signal voltage. When the oil pressure is low, the sensor resistance is low, and the ECM senses a low signal voltage. The ECM sends the engine oil pressure information to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via the class 2 serial data circuit.
• | The engine is running. |
• | DTC P0641 is not present. |
• | The ECM detects that the EOP sensor signal circuit is less than 0.4 volt. |
• | The above condition is present for greater than 9 seconds. |
• | The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic test fails. The ECM displays this information in the Failure Records on the scan tool. |
• | The IPC illuminates the engine oil pressure indicator. |
• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles. |
• | The ECM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |
⇒ | If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If less than 550 kPa (80 psi), test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
