Engine Oil Level Sensor Circuit [08/2020 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Toyota Avalon, 2021 Toyota Avalon, 2020 Toyota Avalon, and 2019 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The combination meter assembly and engine oil level sensor are connected via direct line. The combination meter assembly determines the engine oil level based on the engine oil level sensor ON/OFF signal.

HINT: 

As the engine oil level may be unstable when the engine is cold or running at high speeds, the combination meter assembly receives the engine coolant temperature signal and engine speed signal from the ECM via CAN communication in order to prevent the oil level warnings from being output erroneously.
