Circuit Description

The engine oil pressure sensor monitors oil pressure and passes information to the electronic control module (ECM) through the engine harness. If the oil pressure becomes too low, based on engine speed, it will cause a derate condition. If the engine protection shutdown is enabled, the engine will shut down 30 seconds after the red stop lamp starts flashing.

Component Location

The engine oil pressure sensor is located on the left side of the engine block, below and to the rear of the integrated fuel system module (IFSM).
Refer to Procedure 100-002 in Section E for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk

The engine oil pressure sensor measures the pressure of the oil in the oil rifle on the left-hand side of the engine block.
