Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Instrument Cluster Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console Connector End Views  or Engine Control Module (ECM) Connector End Views in Engine Controls - 6.0L
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter in the powertrain control module (PCM) Engine Data 2 data list.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display less than the specified value?
0.4 V Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
3 Is DTC P0641 current in the PCM? - Go to DTC P0641 in Engine Controls - 6.0L Go to Step 4 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor.
  3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the EOP sensor signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
  4. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter.
Does the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter display greater than the specified value?
4.6 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 5 
5
  1. Disconnect the fused jumper.
  2. Measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor and the low reference circuit of the EOP sensor.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?
4.6 V Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
6 Test the 5-volt reference circuit of the EOP sensor for an open or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the EOP sensor signal circuit for an open, for a short to ground, or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EOP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the EOP sensor. Refer to Engine Oil Pressure Sensor and/or Switch Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 6.0L.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 12  -
11 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 12  -
12
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
Does the DTC reset?
- Go to Step 2  System OK

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
