Oil Pressure Gauge

The oil Pressure Gage contains internal coils that create magnetic fields when current flows through them. The current through the coils varies depending on the Oil Pressure Sensor resistance. (Low pressure resistance is approximately 10 ohms, high pressure resistance is approximately 90 ohms.) The varying sensor resistance causes the current through the coils to fluctuate. The magnetic fields of the coils move the pointer.
