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 engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module should detect a low signal voltage input. With the engine running, the pressure switch opens, and the ECM/PCM should detect a high signal voltage input. The ECM/PCM tests the state of the EOP circuit with the ignition switch turned ON, and the engine turned OFF. If the ECM/PCM detects a high voltage input on the EOP signal circuit, DTC P0520 sets. When the oil pressure is low, the ECM/PCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the body control module (BCM) requesting the EOP indicator turned ON. The IPC illuminates the EOP indicator when the instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting the EOP indicator turned ON.
