Sensor, Oil Pressure: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- The engine oil pressure sensor (3) is mounted on the oil cooler adapter housing. The sensor provides an output voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that corresponds to the engine oil pressure. Under certain operating conditions, for example low oil pressure, it may be necessary for the PCM to increase the engine idle speed to ensue adequate engine lubrication.
- The engine oil pressure sensor (1) is a single wire sensor with a threaded pressure port. The pressure port is mounted to the oil cooler adapter housing through an access hole. An aluminum seal ring seals the engine oil pressure sensor to the oil cooler adapter housing.
