Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
| Circuit | Description |
|---|---|
| Ignition | Supplied from a fuse. |
| Control | The output circuit is switched to ground to activate the component. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| K20 Engine Control Module | The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly. |
| Q44 Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve | A solenoid valve is an electro-mechanically operated valve. The valve is controlled by an electric current through the solenoid. |
The engine oil pressure control solenoid valve is used to control engine oil pressure inside the mechanical engine oil pump. The control module controls the commanded state of the solenoid valve based on the following inputs:
- Engine Speed
- Calculated Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Run Time
When the solenoid valve is commanded Off, oil pressure is higher. When the solenoid valve is commanded On, oil pressure is lower.
