Oil Pump Control Solenoid
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The oil pump control solenoid is located at the front of the oil pump and connected to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via hardwired connection. The oil pump control solenoid receives a 12V power supply from the right Engine Junction Box (EJB). The PCM controls the operation of the oil pump control solenoid valve by controlling the ground path for the solenoid. When the PCM energizes the oil pump control solenoid at low engine speed and loads, the oil pump switches to the low pressure mode. The low pressure mode reduces pumping losses within the oil pump and optimizes the fuel economy.
