Pinpoint Test Av: The Low Oil Pressure RTT (RECONFIGURABLE Telltale) Is Never Or Always On (2.3L [Performance], 5.0L [Performance] And 5.2L Engines)
- 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.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition PCM P0521:00 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Range/Performance: No Sub Type Information Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects signal variation outside of the module parameters on the hardwired input from the engine oil pressure sensor.
