Circuit Description

The engine oil pressure switch is used by the electronic control module
(ECM) to monitor the lubricating oil pressure. If the oil pressure drops below the engine protection limit, the switch will open and cause Fault Code 435 to log.

Component Location

The engine oil pressure switch is located on the intake side of the engine, on the block, below the fuel filter. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk

The oil pressure switch is closed with the engine not running and open when oil pressure is present. This fault code is logged when an open circuit is detected for five consecutive key cycles when the ECM expected a closed circuit at key-on. Possible causes of this fault code include:

  • Failed engine oil pressure switch
  • Open circuit in the engine oil pressure switch signal wire
  • Failed ECM
  • Short circuit in the engine oil pressure switch signal wire to a voltage source.
