Engine Oil Pressure Gage Inaccurate or Inoperative (4.3L, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.6L, 8.1L)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Engine Oil Pressure Gage Inaccurate or Inoperative (4.3L, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.6L, 8.1L)

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Instrument Cluster Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: Master Electrical Component List
1 Did you perform the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster 
2 Start the engine.
Does the engine oil pressure (EOP) gage display within the specified range?		 34-483 kPa (5-70 psi) - 8.1L only
207-483 kPa (30-70 psi)		 Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, perform the Displays Test in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) scan tool Output Controls.
Does the engine oil pressure gage move up and down when commanded?		 - Go to Step 4  Go to Step 15 
4
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
  3. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper between the EOP sensor signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
  4. With the scan tool, observe one of the following engine oil pressure parameters:
    • Monitored Oil Pressure parameter in the IPC Data 1 data list - 6.6L diesel only.
    • Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the PCM Engine Data 2 data list - All engines except 6.6L diesel.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Engine Oil Pressure parameter is at or greater than the specified value?		 550 kPa (80 psi) - 6.6L diesel only
4.6 V - All engines except 6.6L diesel		 Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5
  1. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper between the EOP sensor signal circuit and the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
  2. With the scan tool, observe one of the following engine oil pressure parameters:
    • Monitored Oil Pressure parameter in the IPC Data 1 data list - 6.6L diesel only.
    • Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the PCM Engine Data 2 data list - All engines except 6.6L diesel.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Engine Oil Pressure parameter is at or less than the specified value?		 0 kPa (0 psi) - 6.6L diesel only
0.4 V - All engines except 6.6L diesel		 Go to Step 11  Go to Step 7 
6
  1. Disconnect the fused jumper
  2. Measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor and the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 4.6 V Go to Step 10  Go to Step 8 
7
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Measure the resistance from the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor to a good ground.
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value?		 5 Ω Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
8 Test the EOP 5-volt reference circuit for a for an open, for a short to ground, or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and toWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 9 
9 Test the EOP low reference circuit for high resistance or for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and toWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 10 
10 Test the EOP oil pressure sensor signal circuit for a for an open, for a short to ground, or for a high resistance. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
11 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EOP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
13 Replace the engine oil pressure sensor. Refer to the following procedures:
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 16  -
14
IMPORTANT: Program the replacement PCM.
Replace the PCM. Refer to the following procedures:Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the IPC. Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 16  -
16 Operate the system in order to verify the repair.
Did you correct the condition?		 - System OK Go to Step 2
