Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The engine oil pressure (EOP) switch is a normally closed switch that opens with the proper oil pressure. With the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running, the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) should detect a low
signal voltage input. With the engine running, the pressure switch opens, and the ECM/PCM should detect a high signal voltage input.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition ON, engine ON, verify the scan tool Low Oil Pressure Switch parameter is Closed or the scan tool Low Oil Pressure parameter is Yes.
⇒ | If not Closed or Yes, replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC). |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EOP switch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Low Oil Pressure Switch parameter is Open or the scan tool Low Oil Pressure parameter is No.
⇒ | If not Open or No, test the signal circuit of the EOP switch for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM/PCM. |
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EOP sensor.
