Pinpoint Test AE - Low Oil Pressure Warning Never/Always On

  1. Check engine oil pressure. If oil pressure is okay, go to next step. If oil pressure is low, repair or replace engine as necessary.
  2. Turn ignition off. Unplug oil pressure sensor connector. Measure resistance of Red wire between sensor connector and ground as follows:
    • With ignition on, less than 5 ohms should be present.
    • With engine running, more than 10,000 ohms should be present.

    If resistances are as specified, go to next step. If resistances are not as specified, replace oil pressure sensor.

  3. Leave ignition off. Remove instrument cluster. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION  . Remove low oil pressure indicator bulb. Check for continuity between indicator bulb terminals. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, replace bulb.
  4. Leave ignition off and oil pressure sensor disconnected. Disconnect instrument cluster connector C1. Measure resistance of Red wire between instrument cluster connector C1, pin No. 17 and oil pressure sensor connector. Measure resistance of Red wire between instrument cluster connector C1, pin No. 17 and ground. If resistance between instrument cluster connector and sensor connector is less than 5 ohms, and greater than 10,000 ohms between instrument cluster connector and ground, replace instrument cluster. If resistances are not as specified, repair Red wire circuit.
