Oil Pressure Gauge Calibration Test
- Test equipment consists of 22 and 73 ohm resistors. Perform following test in vehicle with ignition on.
- Disconnect lead of sending unit and connect 22 ohm resistor between lead and ground. Gauge should read midscale. Connect 73 ohm resistor between lead and ground, gauge should read low.
- If gauge does not function properly, replace IVR and retest. If gauge now reads correctly, IVR was the problem. If gauge is still incorrect, remove and bench test.
