IMPORTANT:
Do not turn the key to the crank position or engage the starter at any time during diagnosis.
- Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
- With the ignition ON, install a scan tool and observe the Engine Oil pressure Switch parameter in the IPC ECM Data List.
- If the Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter displays OK, disconnect the engine oil pressure switch, connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the EOP switch and a good ground.
- With the scan tool installed observe the Engine Oil pressure Switch parameter in the IPC ECM/PCM Data List.
- If the Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter displays Low, check for a poor connection at the harness connector of the engine oil pressure (EOP) switch.
- If the harness connector is normal, replace the engine oil pressure switch.
- If the Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter displays OK, check the signal circuit of the EOP switch for an open, for a high resistance or for a short to voltage.
- If the signal circuit tests normal, check for a poor connection at the harness connector of the ECM/PCM.
- If the harness connector is normal, replace the ECM/PCM.
