Oil Pressure Sensor Inspection

  1. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check voltage between double meter harness connector M89 terminal 4 and ground.
      VOLTAGE REFERENCE CHART

      Terminals Condition Voltage (Approx.)
      (+) (-)
      Connector Terminal
      M89 4 Ground When ignition switch is in ON position. (Engine stopped.) 0.5V
      Engine running. [When the oil pressure is 60 psi (4.22 kg/cm2 )] 2.5V

      OK or NG 

      OK: Replace double meter. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

      NG: GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY

    Check voltage between double meter harness connector M89 terminal 3 and ground.

    Approx. 5.5V 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 3.

    NG: Check oil pressure sensor power supply circuit for short to ground. If OK then replace double meter. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

  3. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect double meter and oil pressure sensor connectors.
    3. Check continuity between double meter harness connector M89 (A) terminal 3 and oil pressure sensor harness connector F32 (B) terminal 3.

      Continuity should exist. 

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO 4.

      NG: Repair harness or connector between double meter and oil pressure sensor.

  4. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
    1. Check continuity between double meter harness connector M89 (B) terminal 4 and oil pressure sensor harness connector F32 (A) terminal 2.

      Continuity should exist. 

    2. Check continuity between double meter harness connector M89 (B) terminal 4 and ground.

      Continuity should not exist.

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO 5.

      NG: Repair harness or connector between double meter and oil pressure sensor.

  5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

    Check continuity between double meter harness connector M89 (A) terminal 5 and oil pressure sensor harness connector F32 (B) terminal 1.

    Continuity should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    OK: Replace double meter (oil pressure gauge does not move).

    OK: Replace oil pressure sensor (oil pressure gauge moves but reads incorrectly).

    NG: Repair harness or connector between double meter and oil pressure sensor.
