  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the engine control module (ECM) instrument panel cluster (IPC) Data list.
Is the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter within the specified range?
207-483 kPa (30-70 psi) Go to Step 15  Go to Step 4 
4
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the EOP sensor.
  3. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper between the EOP sensor signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
  4. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the ECM IPC Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is at or greater than the specified value?
550 kPa (80 psi) Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5
  1. Connect a 3-ampere fused jumper between the EOP sensor signal circuit and the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
  2. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the ECM IPC Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is at or less than the specified value?
0 kPa (0 psi) Go to Step 11  Go to Step 7 
6
  1. Disconnect the fused jumper.
  2. Measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor and the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?
4.6 V Go to Step 10  Go to Step 8 
7
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Measure the resistance from the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor to a good ground.
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value?
5 Ω Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
8 Test the EOP 5-volt reference circuit for the following:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • A high resistance

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 9 
9 Test the EOP low reference circuit for high resistance or for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 10 
10 Test the EOP oil pressure sensor signal circuit for the following:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • A high resistance

Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
11 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EOP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
13 Replace the engine oil pressure sensor. Refer to Engine Oil Pressure Sensor and/or Switch Replacement for the 3.9L engine.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 16  -
14 Replace the ECM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the IPC. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 16  -
16 Operate the system in order to verify the repair.
Did you correct the condition?
- System OK Go to Step 2
