WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the engine oil level switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and ground. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Level Switch parameter is OK.
    • If not OK, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the engine oil level switch.
