Pinpoint Test Av : The Low Oil Pressure RTT (RECONFIGURABLE Telltale) Warning Indicator Is Never Or Always On (Mid-Level And High Level IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) (2.0L And 2.7L): Notes
Refer to Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Low Oil Pressure Warning Indicator. REFER to: Message Center - System Operation and Component Description .
If the engine rpm data or oil pressure warning message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the low oil pressure RTT warning indicator to the last state (on or off), based upon the last message received.
If the engine rpm data or oil pressure warning message is missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the low oil pressure RTT warning indicator on.
DTC Chart - PCM
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P0521 | Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Range/Performance | Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects signal variation outside of the module parameters on the hardwired input from the oil pressure sensor. |
| P0522 | Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low | Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects a short to ground on the hardwired input from the oil pressure sensor. |
| P0523 | Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit High | Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects an open on the hardwired input from the oil pressure sensor. |
| P0524 | Engine Oil Pressure Too Low | Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects low oil pressure. |

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
Inspect the:
- engine for noise or other symptom indicating a base engine or low engine oil pressure concern.
- engine oil pressure sensor for signs of external damage.
- engine oil pressure sensor connector for signs of corrosion.
- harness for damage indicating an open or short to ground.
