  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the engine control module (ECM) instrument panel cluster (IPC) Data, data list.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display greater than the specified value?
4.6 V
880 kPa (127.63 psi)
Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display less than the specified value?
0.4 V
8 kPa (1.16 psi)
Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
  3. Measure the resistance from the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor to a good ground.
Is the resistance less than the specified value?
5 Ω Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
5 Test the EOP sensor signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 11  Go to Step 8

  1. Disconnect the ECM.
  2. Test the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor for an open or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 11  Go to Step 8 
7 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EOP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 11  Go to Step 9 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the ECM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
9 Replace the EOP sensor. Refer to Engine Oil Pressure Sensor and/or Switch Replacement for the 4.6L engine or Engine Oil Pressure Sensor and/or Switch Replacement for the 4.4L engine.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 11  -
10 Replace the ECM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 11  -
