Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit |
![]() |
Circuit Description
The oil pressure sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the lubricating oil pressure. The ECM monitors the voltage on the signal pin and converts this to a pressure value.
Component Location
- M11 – The oil pressure sensor is located on the engine block to the right of the ECM.
- 1994 N14 – The oil pressure sensor is located on the engine block near the pan rail on the fuel pump side of the engine.
- 1991 N14 – The oil pressure sensor is located on the engine block above the fuel supply pump.
Shop Talk
If Fault Code 143 or 415 is not present, the problem is not base engine related.
