  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the ECM IPC Data List.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display greater than the specified value?
4.6 V Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the ECM IPC Data List.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display less than the specified value?
0.4 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5
