Pinpoint Test An: The Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Indicator Is Never Or Always On
- Refer to Wiring Diagrams 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.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition PCM P0520:00 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit: No Sub Type Information Sets in the PCM when the PCM detects a fault on the hardwired input from the engine oil pressure sensor.
