Circuit/System Testing

  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.
  2. Vehicle in Service Mode, verify the scan tool ECM - Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter is OK.
    • If not OK 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If OK 
  3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  4. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter is Low.
    • If not Low 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, vehicle in Service Mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If Low 
  5. Command the All Indicators test ON and OFF with the scan tool.
  6. Verify the engine oil pressure indicator turns ON and OFF as commanded.
    • If the engine oil pressure indicator does not turn ON and OFF when commanded 

      Replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.

    • If the engine oil pressure indicator turns ON and OFF when commanded 
  7. Test or replace the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.
