Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module (ECM).
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is greater than 550 kPa (80 psi).
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EOP sensor.
