Circuit Description
The oil pressure sensor is used by the ECM to monitor the lubricating oil pressure. The ECM
monitors the voltage on the signal
pin and converts this to a pressure value. The oil pressure
value is used by the ECM for the engine protection system.
Component Location
The oil pressure sensor is located on the engine block, toward the front of the ECM.
Shoptalk
Confirm that the oil pressure sensor supply voltage is between 4.75 and 5.25-VDC at the
sensor. See Fault Code 141.
Verify with the driver at what engine speed the fault occurs. If the engine is being operated at
too low of a speed under
load (lugging), the oil pressure can drop below the engine
protection limits because of oil temperature.
Oil pressure is a function of engine speed, oil level, and regulator function. Operating the
engine at a low speed under load
will not cause the oil pressure to be low, unless the oil is
hot, or is at a low level, the regulator has malfunctioned, or a loss
is occurring somewhere in
the system.
The following chart shows the output voltage of the oil pressure sensor at various pressure
readings:
