Pinpoint Test AE: The Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Indicator Is Never Or Always On (2.0L)

  1. Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    See Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .

    If the engine rpm data or engine oil pressure warning indicator request message is missing less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the low engine oil pressure warning indicator or RTT warning indicator to the last state (on or off), based upon the last message received.

    If the engine rpm data or engine oil pressure warning indicator request message is missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the low engine oil pressure warning indicator or RTT warning indicator on.
