Pinpoint Test AU: The Low Engine Oil Pressure RTT (RECONFIGURABLE Telltale) Is Never Or Always On (2.3L And 5.0L Non-Performance Engine)

  1. Refer to Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    See Low Engine Oil Pressure RTT. REFER to: Message Center - System Operation and Component Description .

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

    Possible Sources 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Tachometer concern
    • Engine oil pressure switch
    • Base engine concern
    • GWM concern
    • PCM concern
    • IPC

    Does the tachometer operate? 

    Yes  If the low engine oil pressure RTT is always on, GO to  AU5 If the low engine oil pressure RTT is never on, GO to  AU9
    No  GO to Pinpoint Test H 
  6. AU5 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).

    Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? 

    Yes  REFER to: Communications Network
    No  GO to  AU6
  7. AU6 CHECK FOR A STUCK CLOSED ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect Engine Oil Pressure Switch C103.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Observe the low engine oil pressure warning indicator.

    Does the low engine oil pressure warning indicator turn off? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new engine oil pressure switch. REFER to: Oil Pressure Switch
    No  GO to  AU7
  8. AU7 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND AT THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE)

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect PCM C1551E (2.3L).

    • Disconnect PCM C175E (5.0L).

    • Measure:

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AU8
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  9. AU8 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE

    • Test the engine for low engine oil pressure.

    Was a low engine oil pressure concern detected? 

    Yes  REPAIR the low engine oil pressure concern. REFER to: Engine
    No  GO to  AU11
  10. AU9 CHECK FOR A STUCK OPEN ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect Engine Oil Pressure Switch C103.

    • Connect a fused jumper wire:
      Lead 1 Measurement / Action Lead 2
      C103-1
      GFD604414Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    • Start the engine.

    • Observe the low engine oil pressure warning indicator.

    Does the low engine oil pressure indicator turn on? 

    Yes  REMOVE the fused jumper wire. INSTALL a new engine oil pressure switch. REFER to: Oil Pressure Switch
    No  LEAVE the jumper wire connected. GO to  AU10
  11. AU10 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN AT THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE)
