Oil Pressure And Temperature Sensor
The oil pressure and temperature sensor is located in the oil filter and housing assembly located at the front right on the engine. The sensor is located in a threaded port in the housing assembly.
The oil pressure and temperature sensor has a three pin connector; one pin supplies a 5V reference voltage from the ECM, the second pin provides a ground and the third pin supplies an output signal to the ECM.
The oil pressure sensor is connected directly to the PCM. The PCM outputs the engine oil pressure state on the high speed CAN powertrain systems bus for use by the instrument cluster and the PCM. In the event of oil pressure falling below the operating threshold of the sensor, the PCM issues a message to display a low oil pressure warning in message center and also to illuminate an oil pressure warning indicator in the instrument cluster.
The temperature sensor is an NTC type sensor which operates in a range of -30°C (-22°F) to +150°C (302°F) temperature range.
