Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the DTC active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INTERNAL FAILURE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Oil Pressure Switch harness connector.
      NOTE: When there is no oil pressure present, the Oil Pressure Switch contacts are normally closed.
      NOTE: Engine must be off for a minimum of 90 seconds to allow for the oil pressure to bleed down.
    3. Measure the resistance between the Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit terminal in the Oil Pressure Switch and ground.

      Is the resistance above 5 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To step  3
  3. (G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT ABOVE 11.0 VOLTS

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Measure the voltage of the Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit at the Oil Pressure Switch harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 11.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  4

      No 

      • Go To step  5
  4. (G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit at the Oil Pressure Switch harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

  5. (G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
      CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit from the Oil Pressure Switch harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No
