- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit and ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module (ECM).
- Install a 3-Amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is greater than 4.8 volts.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EOP sensor.
