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 powertrain control module (PCM) should detect a low signal voltage input. With the engine running, the pressure switch opens, and the PCM should detect a high signal voltage input. The PCM tests the state of the EOP signal circuit with the ignition switch turned ON, and the engine turned OFF. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the EOP indicator when the IPC receives a serial data message from the PCM requesting the EOP indicator turned ON.
