Oil Pressure Gauge

  1. Remove sender and connect a mechanical oil pressure gauge. If pressure at engine is correct, test gauge and IVR as follows. Connect a test lamp or voltmeter to sending unit lead. With ignition on, a flashing light or pulsating voltage reading should be present.
  2. If pulsating voltage is shown but gauge reads incorrectly, perform calibration test. If constant voltage is present, replace IVR. If no voltage is present, check wiring for open circuits.
